Does anyone have any insight as to whether or not this is possible? I've tried searching but term TDI is too short to yield any results. I really need to be able to switch the transmission out as the current is failing and am not getting into cyclical 01-02 tranny replacements. A manual transmission would be preferable for efficiency and driving dynamics. I am primarily concerned with packaging and layout issues. Any recommendations on diagrams I can find either in print or on the web? About how much should I expect to get from a well maintained 175K 2.4 na motor? Thanks for the help.
