Hi Guy, The mating a T-4 to a T-1 trans is very simple. There are several ways, the pilot shafts being the hardest. Buy an adaptor flywheel the most expensive. So the best and the least expensive. Get a T-4 bus flywheel and clutch and disc. 210 215 mm are the easist to install. OK the Bearing question. As you know the T-1 pilot shaft is not long enough to reach the T-4 Crank. So you take the bearing that is in the crank and fit it into the T-4 flywheel. Sometimes it just presses in or you may have to do some slight machining. That's it. It is like a stock bolt up after that. NOTE:---- Depending on the Year Car you many need a Throw out Bearing guide, which is a stock VW part. Go to my site http://home.att.net/~nextgen and read the UPDATE Buy the manual -- if you have a problem being in the UK. Aircooled.net will accept credit cards for the manual. In the long run you will same time and money. John-- Remember my Plate light being out!! Well amazing I got home. When I did some timing I must have loosened the connections at the 12v side of the coil. The wires were almost off. That would have been fun in the dark. Will I push it back on and all is well.
