I'm interested in the 2016 Evoque but it must be a manual. Let me start off by saying I have experience in manual transmission swaps.
I understand the overseas diesels use a Getrag M66EH50 AWD manual transaxle, but there is extremely limited info on this box. The good news is that this means the unibody is designed for a manual, so pedal assemblies, shifter holes, etc. exist (at least overseas). Also, since it seems the same Auto box is used for the diesels & petrol engine overseas, I assume the bolt patterns of the M66EH50 should be identical to the 2.0L gas engine.
Where can I find the real service manuals for Evoques?
Will I be able to order overseas-only parts (transmission, pedal assembly, shifter assembly, etc.) through a US dealership?
The LR's "Si4" engine is identical to the Ford Ecoboost, right?
Is it externally or internally balanced?
Does the M66EH50 have the same AWD settings as the auto?
p.s. PLEASE do not respond with the merits of manual vs auto transmissions. I do not want to discuss that. My heart is set on a manual transmission and will not be changed. I'm looking for technical help. Thank you.
