general transmission question - input shaft!

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

9A is also an 8V trans....
 
The 02A/02J is a totally different setup, and it's not an easy swap, unless
you have all the mounts pre-fabricated and ready to bolt in.
The 02A/02J is a standard clutch setup, where the 020 is an original...
 
The 020 has the clutch pressure plate mounted to the crankshaft, the
flywheel is bolted to the pressure plate, and the clutch disc is inbetween
them, and released via the thrust plate, from inside the input shaft, by
that long clutch pushrod.
 
The 02A and 02J have the flywheel bolted to the crankshaft, like almost, if
not all, other cars. The clutch is released via a lever inside the
bellhousing, that has a release bearing working against the pressure plate
fingers. It's usually hydraulically activated, but there is a manual 02A,
that uses a cable, from a Eurovan, or something.

02A/Js have the larger shaft as well, correct?

stupid follow up question.  I just remembered i have a 9A transmission that
has no 3rd or 5th.  How much pain would it be to remove the input shaft from
it and put it into the AUG?  My plan for the blown transmission was to take
it apart and learn a thing or two anyways, so great opportunity! 

Chances are I'll just buy a clutch, though :)

Correction: Make that '93, since the A3's came out then.

AUG requires an 8V clutch. 

'93-98/99 would have the larger input shaft.
