What did the clutch and pressure plate look like? How do you know your problem is in the transmission and not the slave or master cylinder for the clutch? Since you don't know what to look for why would you open it. It is a VW/Audi trans, it doesn't match up with any other car as far as the gear ratios go. It looks like a Passat or front wheel drive A4 but they won't be exactly the same to my knowledge at least I haven't heard of it personally. It is an Audi 01A with a gear set and diff for the Porsche app so supposedly they are different.

My 2001 Porsche 5-speed has the same VW Audi markings.

I haven't removed them from the engine yet but I will.

Well, I am hoping someone would point me in a common fault direction but I can certainly identify obvious issues.

The A4, Passat, etc should have lower gearing, which I am absolutely fine with.

This is where I got the idea from of swapping the A4 transmission in. I just didn't realize my transmission had already been swapped. Just need to know what year A4/Passat works.
