You could do it in a day, but it'd be a very long day. Best to give yourself at least a weekend, or even better yet, a week.

If you use a MK3 W58, you would need a custom driveshaft, a possible shifter extension, custom cross-member/mount, and a mechanical to electronic speedometer conversion. Not worth the headache.

Nope, that thick spacer is included in the quantum kit to take the place of those smaller spacers. We measured according to what the quarter master instruction sheet dictates and it came to within an eighth of a millimeter in difference. Do your own measurements if you want to make sure but otherwise the spacer from quantum auto is pretty much spot on.

is this true? i have at my disposal a complete front and rear mk3 driveshaft, my sc400 drive shaft, a sc300 rear half, and can also get a NA mk4 5spd rear section. does anyone know of any mix or match that will work? not worried about where the carrier bearing/crossmember land cuz i can make a one custom to bolt into stock location.
