OK, I used the bolt through the flange method of removing the stub shaft
from the transmission, all 4 came out no problem (2 per
trans.) Unfortunately for me, they are not interchangeable, the one with
the large CV bolt pattern is also 2-4 mm larger and thus the ones I need to
put in are too small for the new transmission. So I have a trans from a 5
cyl 90, and my car is a 4 cyl 80. Other than this the transmission goes in
fine, I already have it in the car, starter and slave hooked up, and the
gearshift goes through all the gears fine.
I did some research on the CV joints (inner and outer.) I discovered the
outers are the same between both cars, but the inners are different. So I
just need to find a way to put larger inner CVs on my shaft (option 1) or
put in the whole shaft assemblies from a 2wd 90 (option 2.) So the main
question here is: will a larger inner CV joint go onto the same shaft as
the smaller CV. I think the larger is a 100mm CV, and the smaller is a 90mm.
