Quite true, but Europe has had 6 speed 02A's for some time now.

Yarrow's 1.8T Mk1 was running a 02A from a TDI, and looked like it was
using the stock axels/hubs.

Now here I think I can help.  The TDI guys running 02As are having clutch
problems when they start modding the TDIs for more power.  The solution?
A Corrado G60 flywheel with VR6 pressure plate and clutch disk.  If the
G60 flywheel fits, then you should be able to run what ever pressure plate
fits your crank, and use the VR6 clutch disk....

PS---This is quite true.   As an aside Allyn, I am speaking with a guy in
Germany about getting a couple of 6 speed TDI 02As from Golf GT TDIs
here...if you are serious let me know, I will get you the details on
prices and such once I have them nailed down.
