89 80 trans drive flange replacemnt

[Denis]

  Screw 2 or 3 long bolts on the flange. 
  Screw them to the case (put a block between the bolt and the tranny to protect it) until the flange come out.
  I did it on my 90 1988, and i used bars on my 100Q.

    I'm replacing the transmission on my 80 due to diff or pinion bearing 
    failure in the old one.  The replacement trans I got has different size 
    drive flanges on it (larger,) so I need to swap them out.  It's a 012 2WD 
    trans.  I can't get them out.  I looked for a bolt in the center but there 
    isn't one.  I tried popping them out like a CV joint in a car with slip in 
    drive shafts (with a two foot screwdriver,) but they aren't budging.  I 
    unbolted the housing on the bad trans, but drive flange holds it in, which 
    leads me to believe it is a pop in unit, I just need a slide hammer to pull 
    it out.  Am I barking up the right tree or is there a special technique to 
    get the sucker out?

    Next question:  does anyone have a vacuum diagram for a 89 Audi 80 4 
    cyl?  I discovered a few loose hoses and a few bad ones while removing the 
    transmission (which is probably the reason for my hard starting problem, 
    one large hose leading right to the intake had large holes in it.)
