1991 Volkswagen Vanagon  2.1 L

Trans:         Standard
Mileage:       202,000 kilometers
VIN:           WV2ZB0256MG009522

Misc Data:     synchro
Affected Item: input shaft
Condition:     came out

____________________________________________________________

I am replacing the engine in this vehicle. When I tried to
remove the engine, the input shaft came part way out of the
transaxle. I have rebuilt many air cooled transaxles and I
know that they have a two piece input shaft held together
by a stud and sleeve. Does this transaxle have the same set
up, and can I do the repair without taking the transaxle
out and completely apart? I have no manuals and there is no
dealer within 300 miles. Thanks in advance.
