Petrol Pickup Gearbox (Urgent!)

[Elvz]

Anyone know if the gearbox input shaft from the gearbox off an 18R petrol engine is the same length as a 2LT diesel one?

the 2l petrol that was fitted in the mk2 was the 18r engine

My MK1 had a 18R, never saw anything but 2.2's or 2.4 2L Diesels in MK2's.

But it don't help Elvz though So don't worry.

Only got 5 speed manual to measure, but 18r's only used 4 speed, so may be different. (plus its up the lane in the dark and wet, and I'm cleaned up, showered and not going out again!!!
