This is the problem I had



The top one is the diesel fitment, the bottom the abf one.
Great work by the aforementioned spikenipples sorted it for me.

Oh by the way he also lightened my flywheel for me and is open for other such work.

Engine and gearbox back together including of course the the Sachs VR6 clutch.
Here are a few pics showing the partly painted gearbox.

Engine installed in the car!
That was a struggle! getting it to sit on its rear mounts was a right pain! Aided by a long length of timber to push it over into place.



Definitely glad I used a block and tackle.
