Not too shabby. How does it feel? Do any field testing?

Haven't installed trans into car yet to road test but on the bench it feels like it takes more force to spin the flanges in opposite directions....

I have an extra 2Y - close ratio 020 trans with 100mm flanges - whats saying I cannot remove those and put onto a late FF 90mm flanged 020 tranny along with the 80% kit before I couple up to 1.6TD going into Caddy?

Doable. Year dependent on the FF though I think.

Acording to Brian the reason the CV axle shaft still hits is because the 100mm flanges are taller than 90mm flanges and so that is advantage of staying with 90mm verses 100 - he said kits work fine with 90mms just have to grind a bit off edge of side bolts that sticks over end and grind end of CV axle down a bit since the shims add a bit more total material - makeing cleance between former ouput flange and end of CV axle less

It seems an easy job for sure, but I have lifetime $$$ axles in there right now.. and I doubt they'd cover them for whatever reason down the road if there is material physically missing from it..
LOL

They do
. I have the lifetime warranty ones as well and eventhough I swapped 100mm flanges the ones I got I do not believe were OEM VW cores. The shaft from the snap ring toward the flange was too long and on the driver side unscrewed on me and the inner joint ate the bolt. I got another and ground it down real thin, when the boot went bad they took it with no questions asked. I did do a good job grinding it so that it didn't look like a beaver went to town on it, it looked nice and flat and with tons of CV grease I am sure no one even blinked an eye.

so essentially if 90mm are used its 100 percent needed to grind down the axle shaft? lowered or not..

no - as I understand it grinding for 90mms verses what is needed on 100mm set up is on totally different parts

No again, I spoke with the guy that builds the 80% kit. He said grind if 90mm. They are ok if 100mm, stock height....BUT he was wrong. Mine is stock, not lowered at all and I went to the 100mm and the inner bolt with the 80% kit unthreaded and the CV ate it. I compared the stubs of a 90mm and the 100mm that I had and saw that the 100mm was a lot longer and that is why it did it. So I ground the new one and didn't have an issue since.
