I searched the site about auto -> 5sp swap, but nothing has seemed to answer my specific question.
I have a mkii w58, pp, disc, flywheel, t/o bearing, clutch master cyl. I've read that the r154 is easy to swap in, but havent seen much on w58 swaps. Obviously it is not as strong, but the 88t is stock, and I wont be pushing the limits of the w58 for a while (at least until I can afford r154). As I totally hate auto's, and I may be pulling this motor anyway, I'd as soon do the swap now. Also, all this stuff is pretty much brand new, I dont want to waste it, I dont want to spend more on new stuff.
My questions:
MKiii diff is not the same, so what am I to do about the driveshaft?
The mkiii clutch master will swap into a mkii, does it go backward?
Is the mkii/mkiii w58 shifter in the same location? I know the r154 is a bit farther back, at least when swapping into mkii.
Is the tranny mount (rear) in the same location?
So I am assuming that I will need, in addition to what I have:
mk3 clutch pedal
mk3 center console for m/t
Hydraulic line from mk3 (master -> slave)
Mounting brackets
*Figure out driveshaft*
So then, all I should have to do when switching to r154, down the road, is new pp and disc, really. Any help, and I'd really appreciate it! Thanks.
