G60 swap questions

[vw_85roccoZ400 at hotmail.com (Brian Spinney)]

Well with the money you are going to spend on the 02A tranny and the parts 
need why not take your favorite 020 gear ratio tranny have it rebuilt 
install a LSD diff and there you go.  Total will be less than all the parts 
need for the 02A and it will hold the power.

Thanks,
Brian
