Transmission question

[jdbubb@ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

The input shaft is bigger in 16V transmissions.
The 16 V clutch disc has a bigger hub to match the larger larger tranny
input shaft. The 8V and 16V discs are not interchangeable.
The clutch pressure plate is also stronger for the 16V, but the two are
physically interchangeable.
