[Vwdiesel] cvjoints yet again...

  Sure it does but in a different fashion.  :)  Somewhere in the mid to
latter
80's they went to the 100mm flange.  The thing to check then is the shaft
it goes on.  They use the same 020-409-291 B shaft on the earlier, 90mm
flanged transmissions as they do up to 90.  In 90 they stop listing the part
number for the shaft but the design is the same so it's highly likely the
shaft didn't change.  In 94 though they show the shaft and flange as a
single unit.  This would create a problem!  It looks like as long as you
have a tranny with separate flange and drive shaft, you can go either
way.  It just depends on which flange you put on.  :)
