- Black 05 b5.5V/6spd w/274k miles (daily). Silver 02 Golf/5spd w/240k miles (fun 1). Mint Tornado Red 01 Golf/5spd w/440k (ALH still perfect!!!).
I couldn't find a thread that had data on all TDI Adapter options available, so here's a start. Are there others out there? Anyone have experience with these? Also, experience / opinions of the transmissions they mate to?
OPT 1. tdiclub member evguy1's TDI adapters. Not specific to one trans, they make the back of the TDI look like another engine. These are well respected from what I gather here. http://gastodiesel.tdconversions.com/adapter/
OPT 2. Quicktime RM 4082 TDI to T5 trans bellhousing. I can't find a thread where someone has used this one. It looks like it doesn't come with a crank to flywheel adapter. It's not clear on what flywheel / starter is needed. https://www.holley.com/products/drivetrain/bellhousings/bellhousings/parts/RM-4082
OPT 3. Acme TDI to Toyota W series adapter. Acme also machines a flywheel. Commonly used. I see comments about the challenge of aligning these on here. http://www.acmeadapters.com/
OPT 4. Cotybuilt TDI to NV35xx trans adapter. Retaining Jeep flywheel and pressure plate and I think starter. https://www.cotybuilt.com/hardware.html
