  not much... it can actually be done while in the car.  just follow the online instructions.  the best way to get the gears out is not with a puller, but to actually heat them up.  then they will just slide right off.  i seem to recall that you can actually break something inside if you use a puller... maybe the gear itself???  :shock:

  If your asking about the gear sets on kermatdi and tdiparts... they are for a 02J in the a4 platform and will not fit a 020.

  That link goes to a gearset for a o2j.  I guess it does say "fits 96 and newer and some older" (paraphrase)
  
  Are you saying that some 020 and 02j's have interchangeable gears?

• If you can squeeze taller tires on your car, you'll also drop your rpm...

  Actually I thought of that - I'm running 195-60x14" which is a 23.2" tall  tire now, I think it could easily handle a 195-65x14" which is 24" tall or maybe even a 195-70x14" which is 24.7" tall, both are the same width as the 195-60x14's. Expensive gamble though - fitment wise.

• How fast are you cruising at?  Why not use a .71 out of a lot of old diesel 020's?
  
  I don't have a tach, but the .71 in my rabbit is actually a little too tall for my taste.  
  
  
  FYI, early dodge omni 4sp's were vw transmissions with a tall r&p, I think.

• i'm installing a CTN in my mk2 jetta.  it has the tallest r&p available, but the 5th gear can still go lower    .  i'll be bolting the clutch master cyl to the firewall and then putting a rod from the clutch pedal to it with the right angle. way cheaper than doing the cable conversion, plus i kinda like hydraulic  :lol:
  
  also going cable clutch will be cool! 2100 rpm is nearly 60 mph.
