    Thanx for the reply VL,

    I currently have a NA 5 speed manual gearbox in my car. So I will need a different clutch and flywheel does that sound correct?
    I also heard that the tail shaft yoke is different.

    Cheers

    I can't remember to be honest. I think it may be. Tailshaft will be the same.

    Should be a pretty easy swap though.
