G/box Swap

Hi guys. Hope somone can help with some info :smile:

 

Ihave a 1985 1600 Carb Cabbie which someone over the years has converted from a manual to an Auto.

 

I would like to return the car to a manual Gearbox, but need some info on what i require to do the conversion. The car has been fitted a mk4 xr3i engine onto which a carb is fitted (Thats another story :mad: ) I know i would need a pedal box, linkages etc, what i really need to know is the flywheel clutch driveshaft side of things.

 

Would the flywheel be a straight swap with the torque convertor. Would i need new driveshafts or will the existing ones fit a manual g/box. I have also heard that a mk4 g/box wont fit a mk3. Is this true.

 

Many thanks in advance.
