Transmission out, looks like an Audi trans, what should I look for?

[bwdz]

I recently did a clutch on my brother's 03 Passat wagon and the trans looked just like that but it's not like I had it side by side with the Boxster to compare, it just looked the same when working on that car. Btw, he had similar shifting problems and they were caused by a piece of the clutch disc breaking off and occasionally bouncing in and getting stuck by the pressure plate causing the clutch to not want to disengage fully.

Gotcha, around the same year of the Boxster makes sense. So as long as I find one stamped 012 I should be good as far as bolting up but then I'll need to double check the gearing. Just what I needed to know, thank you. I've been looking into what it takes to remove a transmission from an A4 and it does not look fun.

Thanks for the input. I actually pulled my disc and pressure plate. They look to me like they have more life left in them. I'll get pics up shortly.

Thoughts? Should I replace them? The argument of not having to take it apart again is not an issue for me since it is very easy to get this transmission out and if I can go another 2 years without issue then I'll gladly save the ~$300.
