        I did it on my `4... I it's been a while. I got a TR4A flywheel and
        replaced the sleeve and throwout bearing to make the swap... I think,
        though You probably can make the switch by just moving the studs
        on the flywheel (you may have to take the pressure plate and fly 
        wheel to a machine shop if redrilling the holes for the studs is 
        required. At any rate you will have to get a sleeve from a donor...
        TR4A though TR6...
