The Euro V8 shift box is in with minimum issues, you are using a 7A flywheel, your 200 front axles are the same length on passenger and driver side, and you are pretty close to putting the O1E in? What clutch is that? Do you know of a foot pound rating for it?
The shift box is from a Euro S6 plus however it seems as though URS4/6 stuff should work/be very close to identical. It is pretty much a bolt in as far as function however getting the shifter surround and center console to mount to it will take a bit of customization (which I'm still not 100% done with).
My clutch release bearing broke into pieces Saturday so I didn't get the trans bolted up to the block just yet. I'll pick one up tomorrow and see if I have time to get it mounted up there. Waiting on Hanks trans mounts as well.
As for the axles, I'm still working on the drivers side one. The passengers side can most likely utilize the stock axle by just "stretching" the cv a bit. I'm probably not going to go that route though as a drivers side urs4 axle will work perfectly for the pass side 200 01e swap. The drivers side I am still researching. Looks like the actual shaft needs to be 53cm. It looks as though a 90's passenger axle is the proper length but they are 6x100. I have to check and see if the 200's cv will go onto that shaft. This image was sent from a guy overseas who has an 01e in his 200:
You're correct, it's a 7A flywheel and clutch setup. The clutch is a Clutchnet Red pressure plate and 6 puck sprung hub disk (same setup I ran last on the car and loved). Clutchnet has a torque rating of 515ft lbs listed however they have been known to under-rate apparently. I'll see how it does. The price is unbeatable.
