Glad you said something because I was thinking the 02A and 02J were not
similar and did not know if the 02A was hydraulic clutch.  I saw on
Kirsten's web site how much fabricating went into the hydraulic clutch.

It appears the G60 02A came with 100mm axles and in that case stock 100mm

I think I will ask for more information.

Anyway, lot of fabrication unless this kit is the magic pill.

BTW do you know if either the 3A, 9A or ABA can be swapped for the G-60
block?  My guess is that they do not since I have not seen anyone with a
2.0L G-60
