According to dealer microfiche some base model 85s and 86s came with 90mm
inner cvs.   Only Gti's and GLi's came with 100mm inner cvs.

I thought that the 90mm flanges have a different diameter at the sealing
surface?  They did on my FF at least.  That was out of an 80 Jetta so vw
might have changed that when they went to 100mm inner cvs.

When I took the 90mm flanges out of the FF they were considereably shorter
than the 100mm ones.  In order to to be able to put the larger diameter
seals in, vw used the sleeves to extend the case.  If your using 90mm
seals, they will press right into the case itself with no need for the
sleeves.  At least was the case in my FF.  They may have modified the all
cases after 83 to eliminate the discrepancy, but that's how it worked in my
case.
