Yeah, I just gotta learn to get some sleep, getting too tired in the
evenings- I should have said the flanges are different.  The seal contact
surface is double the diameter on the trans I have to put in- the 94 Jetta
one.  Had both flanges in my hands tonight, they are not interchangeable.  I
would assume an earlier trans is the same.  However, this one is not...
Damn.

I assume the joint is wider and hits the stop before the clip groove is
exposed?  I could turn the stop down a bit so the joint goes on the shaft
further I suppose, so the groove is exposed.  If this is the only problem,
I'll order the joints tomorrow.  Thanks Eric.
