i have a g60 flywheel on my 1.9td and idle sounds normal so that would work ok.

i did it because i have a tdi gearbox

VR trans has the wrong bell housing for a TDI...

I know. i have 4 different 4 cylinder trannys kicking around, all you do is swap the bell housings and your golden

you cant swap the bell housing, as it is part of the trans case...

you can take the VR guts and dump them in a 4 banger trans case tho...

Actually you can swap them. It's rather simple. And if its all one piece then how would you take out the diff? Take a look at your trans and you'll see the seam and bolts holding it together.

The Bellhousing is part of the tranny ........... unbolt, guts fall out!

i believe you can swap the "bellhousing" from vr6 to the 4 cylinder style, but its not simple like many other cars because like others have said the bellhousing is also half the case.

Ok it read like you meant you have to swap both sides of the trans which I didn't think was true

Yes you are correct but you make it sound a lot harder than it actually is. I know people who have done 6 speed vr to a 1.8t. its not that hard if you have any mechanical experience. Pay attention to what you are doing and be care and your fine.
