I removed ~5mm. from the end of the diesel input shaft using a '89 1.8
l. RV and ACW trans..  I removed the 5mm. after measuring to determine
how much to remove and added a little to insure there would be no
bottoming.  I think the transverse I4s had a shallower bore depth in the
end of their cranks than did the Vanagon diesels?
