[QUOTE="nobbly, post: 575152, member: 22300"] I looked into this, but ended up going for a type 4 motor and 6-rib. First check the protrusion of the gearbox input shaft (the amount that sticks out past the face of the bellhousing). If you're lucky it will be the same, then the 6-rib will go straight in. Some useful information here... http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7705793" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; If not you have 2 options: 1) fit a new input shaft (not sure if these can be swapped from your existing 'box?) 2) chop 10mm off the input shaft (!) Next the linkage needs tweaking by re-drilling the hole in the front shift rod 10mm further forward to account for the fact that the 6-rib is slightly longer..
