i thought you could?
hmmmm, damm idkkkk now

I don't remember all the differences; It may work and I told you what you need to check.

No. The only other option would be finding a drive shaft with a compatible yoke so a drive shaft shop could cut that off and use it to build a new one.... they can probably get a new yoke anyway though so it's not worth the trouble of finding a used one (and thus a used U joint). The yoke from another W series transmission such as the common W54 may fit too.

Have you tried local salvage yards? Generally the N/A MKIII isn't very uncommon and the drive shaft is a low demand used part from it.

my local pick a part charges 2$ to get in, its not much but i dont like spending that and not finding the parts needed..

also cre, can you look at my clutch pedal?
the first: is up where its spose to be at, but im holding it cause it will just fall back to the floor..


the second: this is when its back to the floor.


i just installed it..
the problem is when i install it, it doesnt stay up like its spose to.. it just goes back as far as it can and then pops down to the floor..
theres no fluid in the clutch master and not hook up to the slave..
its like the pedal isnt adjusted right... and even if i adjusted it to where it would stay where its spose to it will just pop back down to the floor and stay there.. its like theres no tension or something.. idk please help.

for the clutch pedal, i just figured it will be okay and correct it self when i get the lines hooked up and bleed it..

for my pressure plate bolts, there aftermart (APR OR ARP) and it didnt come with a torque spec, can i just torque them to the standard torque setting for the oe?

The spring is supposed to assist in returning the pedal but get the master and slave in place before you worry about it.

Yes, the stock spec for the pressure plate is correct.
