Subject:Cut tranny input shaft while still in tranny? (for engine conversion)
From:neil N

Hi all.

Am getting closer to mounting the Jetta engine so am researching input
shaft stuff.

Can I cut the input shaft while it's still in the tranny?

It looks possible, but I don't know if hacksawing away at it is be bad
for parts attached to it. Plus angling (shaping) the end might present
a challenge.

Thanks!

Neil.
