I have a Rover pump and may do a mTDI in Mk1 - Caddy.
To make thins fit as far as trany goes I was thinking of using the 5th (.71) gear of a late FN or FF and putting it in a
ASF, AON, ACN, ACL (8v) 3.67 3.45 1.94 1.37 1.03 0.75 trany - in order for it to be able to handle added HP and torque and yet fit without much modification - I do have the AHU's corresponding CTN tranny but it will require a modded cable shifting system and maybe mounts too.
Now for the clutch I was wanting to use the 210 flywheel - and maybe use a gasser one since it would be lighter - any comments or suggestions on this matter - also I will need a stout clutch to mate the two together - does anyone have any good recommendations for a 210 clutch that will not slip?
Seems you're doing the same as me, I don't have a Rover pump just a AAZ pump. I'm going to use a close ratio trans with a .071 fifth. Shpould be fun to drive and cruise well. People suggest using a 16 valve engine gas clutch. In the TDI cars I use VR6 clutch, last forever.
But do you know if the VR6 clutch will fit on a 210mm flywheel - I don't know - did they make VR6s back in the 90s where the clutch and pressure plate fit the size and style of 210mm Mk2 flywheel?
020 and 02a are completly different clutch set ups... replied in my m build thread..
