tranny swap questions

[scirocco.gtx@juno.com (Mark A Peele)]

Assuming your tranny is bad, you can use any 020 transmission. Depending
on what tranny you have you may have 90mm or 100mm output flanges - If
you have 90mm and you want a tranny with 100mm (or vice versa), you'll
have to swap the drive axles too. Using a 16V tranny gets a little
tricky.

All the trannys after a certain date have 100mm outputs (DK exactly
when).

Go to this site to view a table of 020 trannys:

If you want a chart that includes the output flange sizes too, I have one
of those that I could Email to you.

I know most of y'all who responded to my pleads for help yesterday felt
(and still feel) I have a linkage problem.  Though I couldn't find any
sign
of one, the car's going into the shop tomorrow.  However, I wanna cover
all
bases.  What transmissions can I put in my '86 8v?  I know the 16v is a
different tranny, but will it work?  What about something out of a GTi,
Cabrio, Jetta, or even a rabbit?  Are any/all these 5-speeds the same?

Is it going to be tough to rebuild my tranny if I wanna do that?  (I've
never rebuilt one, but between me and a buddy of mine, it's pretty
feasible.)  What about changing 5th gear to lower my R's?  I saw that
thread a coupla days ago.  Is it hard or expensive?

I appreciate all the help y'all have given me in the last 24 hours.  I
just
have a few more questions.  Thanks again.
