8v to 16v questions

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

Only 020 trannies with codes 2Y, AGB, AMC, CHE or DFQ can use the 16V clutch disc.
All the other codes have a smaller input shaft spline and will need the 8V clutch disc.
Going by the tranny code should be a reliable way to gauge which clutch disc to use since the
different size input shafts cannot be installed into a case they were not meant for since the input
shaft bearing size is also different.
