It's more work than most people are willing to do. The shift parts and pedal cluster in front are just drop in, but the spare tire well has to come out and the frame plate on the front of the tunnel has to be removed to install the shift rod, but this is really not a big deal. You will need to cut a new opening in the rear for access to the shift coupler. > Is it an issue with the presence of a clutch tube? Yes, you will have to fabricate and install one. If you do this, save the front transmission mount and the AT shift cable as these are getting quite scarce now. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
