Clutch/ Tranny swap

[t.piwonka at ttu.edu (Robert Piwonka)]

I'm in the middle of my first tranny swap/clutch job on my 1986 16V.  It 
was going pretty good until I get ready to put the new tranny on, its a 
9A 8v close ratio that someone sent me when I specifically said I wanted 
a 16v one, and I notice the tranny mount is different.  There are 3 
studs on the differentail casing that are missing from the 9A tranny.  
Great, I assume I'll to have relocate some bolts and I'm good to go, but 
the locations aren't taped on the 9A so I now have to drill it and tap 
it or take it to a machine shop, which are closed until Monday. 
Anyone swapping to a 4K or other 8v tranny have this same deal with the 
tranny mount?

Also when I was replacing the drive flange seals a bearing fell out of 
the diff shaft and was cracked in two.  Awesome!  Just what I wanted.  
If I'm lucky I will be able to use one from the my old agb tranny.  
Anyone know about this?

I have been with out my car for over a month now and am really anxious 
to have it running again.
