I thought the Golfs got the 100mm drive flanges right around 86 or so...I
can't say for certain on that point though.
I know the 86 roc transaxle will have the 100mm flanges as that started
late 84ish for the 85 models...anyone say for sure on when the A2's got
them?

You probably actually meant a 16v one here...? :-)

True that.  Try and hunt up a GLI/GTI if you can.  That's why I recommended
taking a look at the tranny chart on the emsport site.
