Subframe compatibility for 1.8T FWD Manual

Hey y'all,

TLDR: Is THIS SUBFRAME compatible with my 1999 A4 1.8T FWD Manual?

------

I read this post on Audizine, but there seems to be some conflicting information there, so wanted to double check here.

It seems that the only difference I should be considering when it comes to a subframe for the 1.8T is between automatic and manual; that difference is due to the left side tranny mount being different... FWD / Quattro seems to make no difference?

For example,

This verkline subframe WOULD work for my manual, as it has slots for the different LEFT side tranny mount (used specifically on manual trans)...

but this other verkline subframe WOULDN'T work for my manual as it has identical slots on both left and right sides to account for using only the one type of tranny mount on both sides (used on right side for manual trannys as well as right AND left side for auto trannys).

----

If someone could please confirm this analysis checks out (that the only difference is between manual / auto and not fwd / quattro) I would appreciate it!

Thank you to the Paving Crew on Trout Gulch Rd

Figure maybe someone who worked on that crew will see this but:

​

THANK YOU!

​

That road was in terrible condition for years and now it rides like a dream.

​

Also thanks to the taxpayers or whoever on the road paid for it, and to whatever public officials or residents pushed to make it happen.

​

This may be a weird post but I really am that stoked on it 😅
