If you are using a Diesel Transmission with a Diesel input shaft, there was
no need to remove anything from the input shaft!

Hi all,

just finished the third day of work. So far, we've:

1. Pulled the diesel and removed the flywheel, clutch, oil pan, oil pump
pickup, and exhaust manifold.
2. Pulled the engine from the donor 1986 Golf (that was a little hard). Also
grabbed about half of the hiring harness (more to get tomorrow) and the fuel
filter,accumulator, and pump assembly.
3. Transferred the diesel parts and a new pilot bearing to the donor engine.
4. Took a little off of the diesel tranny input shaft with my dremel -
hopefully enough.

Tomorrow we'll stick it in, hook up the fuel lines, and start figuring out
the CIS fuel injection. So far, so good...

best,

Matt
