Update:
The Wisconsin transmission went to the car wash last night and got cleaned up. Tonight it got serviced, new drive flange seals, guide tube and the new release bearing installed as well as draining out the old fluid. New fluid will go in once it's in the car.
New guide tube / seal and release bearing:
Fluid drained and new drive flange seals installed.
Here she is back in the garage next to the Omaha CTN transmission. My 'cleaning out' that happened over the past couple of years is starting to reverse itself...uh oh!
And here's an obligatory picture of the Mk3 sitting in the drive while I was working on the trans.
All for tonight, tomorrow night the engine gets pulled from the stand and the flywheel and new clutch gets fitted as well as the Wisc transmission.
I'm toying with the idea of swapping the B4 shifter assembly with the Polo (a topic discussed at length in prior pages) since I've found a Mk4 shifter box and 02J shift tower. This will also work nicely when I go to do the 6 speed kit sometime later this year.
I'm finally getting close to putting this thing in the car!!
