Hi Rob, the 1.8T's have a Vw 4cyl bellhousing pattern, so no, they won't
match a 5cyl trans pattern. As to whether the RS2 trans would be machined to
accept both 4cyl and 5 cyl engines...I doubt it. We'd have to talk specific
tranny codes, but the last RS2 unit I had around(CBD code I think) wasn't
looking that way to me. As always, YMMV, and with enough money, even the
square peg will fit the round hole.

Cheers,
