But they are different...the hub on the syncro clutch
is larger.  When you order the syncro clutch, you do
not get a sachs, you get one of the european clutches.
if the 2wd sachs clutch is fine, why don't you get one
of them when you order the syncro clutch from vw like
you do when you order a 2wd?

I will be the first to admit that i am no expert... but
i do know what happened in my experience.
