Re: Upgrading to 100mm CV flanges

["Sal Guzzo" <pellom@yorku.ca>]

I gotcha....I should have given more info here.  I'm gonna go with a 84 GTI
tranny that I got from my previous parts car.  Will it clear with the new
100mm?  Any gaskets or seals which need to be altered?

Greg, the swap is coming along slowly.  The car is at the body shop and
basically, I'm just waiting for it to come back.  I have practically
everything sitting here at home awaiting their new home.....
