I think the boxes will be different, but 16v and VR6 both use a hydrolic clutch so there shouldnt be to much of a fitting problem. Might have to use use the 16v fly wheel though?

Not sure but wouldnt think it would be that hard a fit.

yes bellhousing is completly different, the internals are the same except for gear ratios though.  the existing hydro clutch/cable shift bits will swap over
