Think 1 is a course spline and the other is a fine spline shaft

1/
swap over input shafts

2/
use the petrol bellhousing / clutch plate and pressure plate & flywheel

3/
swap top coverplates over ( the bit that the gearshift comes in )..... this will need a small mod to fit ( IE: grind off a small alloy moulded bump )

if you dont swap over the top covers then be prepared to cut and re-shape the gearbox tunnel so the shifter will fit....... this = hours of work
:bad-words:

have a nice w/end
