I've been running my 03 VW 1.8T conversion for a couple of years now, and I'm about to complete the final drive train component. I located an "012" transmission which is used in the Boxster and Passat longitudinally. Shine racing installed the Quaiffe for me, and the the trans bolts straight up to the engine with out any adapter.
The cable shifting is the best thing since sliced bread, as the shift is much more direct and confirming than my 901 setup ever was. I was able to use an 84 Carrera electronic speedo directly, but it does need a little tweeking in the calibration dept as it reads about 5mph fast @highway speed. One of the benefits of this update, is the improved gearing. As this specific transmission was designed to be behind this engine. Did I mention the nice power?

I think what many would be interested to know is how you solved the axle issue. Trans flange adapters? What specific axles you used? Knowing the trans output flanges are not symmetrical (3/4" off center), how did you solve the issue?
Do you have some photos of the how the motor fits the engine bay? Andys |

Knowing the trans output flanges are not symmetrical (3/4" off center), how did you solve the issue? Do you have some photos of the how the motor fits the engine bay? Andys (Small rant to get out of the way) I had the axles custom made to fit the flanges that I had by TheDriveSh**tShop.com. I will NOT recommend them, as I gave them clear photos and measurements and they repeatedly wasted my time with junk. That said, my output flanges are VW tripoid style, and considering my power range, I consider them to be adequate. The outer hub flange was a stock 4 bolt/ 2 roll pin style. The outer CV on the new axle is a 93mm 6 bolt joint. I removed the roll pins, in the flange and welded the pockets closed. I then drilled and tapped the 2 additional holes to give a 6 bolt setup and everything is tight. The output offset is more pronounced on the left side, but my fingers are crossed that the combined vertical and horizontal offset is within range of the two joints. The vertical angle is @5degrees, and horizontal is about 4 degrees on the left side. The right side is 5 degrees vertical and 2-3 horizontal. Attached image(s)
