So I got my hands on a 05/93 A4LD and I'm planning to rebuild it. Previous owner says it works good but I've got some free time to rebuild it.

So far I have:
Seals & Gasket Set
Shift kits (both Superior and TransGo)
Sonnax Boost Valve Kit
24-Teeth Pump Gears
Alto Plates
Steel Bands
Washer Kit


However I'm a little thrown off. I've noticed alot of the rebuilds mentioned here are pre 1993 with thrust washers. Would post 93 require me to find a torrington bearing set? What else would I be missing?
 






I think its hard to say. As far as I remember hearing, they went with torrington bearings in the 93.5 or later A4ld's. Not 100% on that mind you.
