so the gear knob does fit but you have to change a few parts. And I've still finish my driveshafts, prop, clutch pedal, ecu. its all doable but it just takes time. Dave

No RHD manual D2s for 22 years and then two come along at once
 Interesting to see that the B/C chassis shifter setup fits in the D2 body. The factory D2 shifter is characteristically arcane and higgledy piggledy for no apparent reason. It'll be interesting to compare notes when we're both finished  Quote:

The pump truck is mikes idea from his engine removal thread. After getting the car up on the ramp and looking at the bellhousing bolts and starter motor.
it would be a nightmare just removing the gearbox. when the car was assembled at the factory the engine and box go in together. it really was very easy to remove the front of the car disconnect, everything and just wheel it out. most things are easy to get at, no seized bolts! beautifully designed and engineered and a joy to work on. i did have access to full workshop with ramp, gearbox jacks,engine crane and mechanic mate. But i chose to just do it outside in the sun on my own, all i needed was trolly jack, axle stands, pump truck, ratchet strap, and some blocks of wood and a few tools. It was very easy and most people could do it at home on there drive. its all made to be assembled quickly and efficiently. with a few adjustable legs welded onto the pump truck or a frame! instead of the timbers i used, installation would be even easier keeping it at the correct angle so the subframe bolts are easy to put in.

What did you do for your pedal set up and master cylinder to get the clutch working?

How did I miss this thread????
Well done Dave! I hope I get to see the car in person soon. Please post up more pics of the conversion. If I remember from the audisrs thread the 0A3 doesn't have a speed signal or something, how did you get this to work?
