Hi group,

Peter C., Frank & WST, I apologize for you getting this twice but I 
wanted to make sure you got it.
Dan this may help you also.

After reading Horler's book VERY carefully (page 63) we have found that,

after 9Cg-DA-2140, there was a different pressure plate, a different 
front cover (with needle rollers for the input shaft), and release fork 
used for the 948CG.  The tranny was still smooth case but was, of 
course, the close ratio box that was optional on the MkI. 

So what my friend Eric has is: A 9CG engine with the 9CG clutch/pressure

plate but a 9C smoothcase tranny.  This won't work without some 
modification.  It will work, we think, if he uses a 9C clutch/pressure 
plate & fork.  What we need to confirm this is a measurement; /the 
distance from the very bottom of the pilot bearing recess to the face of

the release plate/ (the surface the throwout bearing comes in contact 
with) of a 9C engine & clutch assembly.  So if someone has a 9C 948 with

the correct pressure plate/clutch assembly sitting out of a car it we 
would be grateful for the above measurement.  We're thinking there is 
about a 5/16" difference between the a 9C and 9GC setup.

Thanks in advance!
