So what did i cover. engine height/oil position issue, engine to drivetrain issue, well to be honest those were the 2 biggest ones..
So i began to work... well theres a ton of details which i have pictures of and once i figure out a practical way to display them i will help and add captions to them if i can do that.
Long story short, i Measured the length of a Stock TT, which is just about 72" the problem being, how do i adapt the TT 4 bolt flange to the engine all while including a, Flywheel, Clutch,PP, Slave, and release bearing..
well crap i dont know... Tada, lots of research planning and trial and error...
boom... Well i built myself a custom made bellhousing... How you ask.. well i actually bought a perfectly good DVZ 5 speed 2.8 gearbox and well i cut the **** out of it until it was something that could maybe resemble a bellhousing.. And than i cut more, and more, and more...
The stock Vw bellhousing of the gearbox gives a good starting point for multiple factors !
1. the 2.0L BHW starter works on a 1.8T flywheel.. which also works on a TDI Crank :P
2. The TDi crank gives lots of options, for now i chose a 23lb SMF... maybe not the best choice. but weight wise im happy and well when your cost is 0$ for a stage 4 1.8T clutch/flywheel setup you cant really complain, mind you i did find it on a Pick&Pull engine.. who cares as it looked like it didnt see 1km... YAY
3. Well now the release bearing on a VW Passat or A4, has a very similar principle to the 944.. a push/pull type but in similar locations.. Interesting... to further investigate.
4. The BHW crank doesnt stock have a pilot bearing, but lucky enough it has a perfect size hole to fit 1 and so i did
That about does it for basic info on regards to why this destroyed trans made a perfect start for a bellhousing.. and i paid 50$ USD for the whole gearbox already pulled... couldnt go wrong for a testing.. was a sad story for a good working gearbox though.
