Ok first question of the swap...
The 1.6td that came in the passat was bolted up to the passat tranny (O2A I assume? its cable shifted and hydraulic clutch) but I will be using the stock O2O golf tranny. The clutch is still bolted up to the engine and I was wondering if there are any differences between the O2O and O2A clutches...will I have a problem if I just leave that clutch on the engine and bolt on the O2O trans?
Just got er started tonight! This was the 2nd time starting but the 1st was just as easy. I was pretty impressed for my first swap. Cant wait to drive it
