Post by: theman53 on September 05, 2010, 08:29:48 am: doesn't the peloquin kit come with the ARP bolts? If so you may have an extra kit to sell. If not you will still be prepared.

I talked to broke vw about this. He said that the earlier 020 trans had VERY hard rivots and no problems with the rivots machining the case. I think he said around 84 and up 020, but you would have to ask him for sure, were the ones with soft rivots and you would have trouble. I know all the ones 86 and after were bad according to him.

Post by: rallydiesel on September 07, 2010, 08:21:26 am: That's a new starter for my 1.6. Bought it last year. The new style does not require the starter bushing in the bellhousing.

Post by: R.O.R-2.0 on September 26, 2010, 11:03:04 am: looks like a normal sized unit to me. but if you sat that next to a mini-gear-reduction starter, yea, its gonna seem huge. lol.
