I don't know about the VW 1.9 diesel; this may well fit the van trans & clutch. But other manufacturers' engineds won't, and if you can't get a kit from KEP you'll have to get one custom-made. I've done this with a 5.4 Chev engine on a Toyota 5-speed and a 3.6 Toyota V8 on an 091 VW trans. -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut
