I think we're both right. Part of the "hole" is in the bellhousing, but part is in the AT engine case, too. It has to be there, as Leon described, in order to get to the heads of the bolts that connect the AT drive plate to the torque converter. > I might have run into a modification from the PO to use a MT engine in the > car; I looked at the engine from that car today and it was identical to the > MT engine core sitting next to it. Look at the flange area at the bottom and just to the left (left is left) of the parting line. There should be a difference there. If the flywheel/drive plate is still installed it will be somewhat hard to see. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
