    Rebuilt my 1.7L and put the engine in the car before installing the headers. Upon trying to install the headers, they seem to be positioned such that they are contacting the steering rack bracket. I thought perhaps an engine alignment would remedy this but its still touching. I am thinking that...

    I need to replace an inner CV boot or the short shaft on a 96 Automatic Jetta. I've done them many times on a standard transmission with no problem. Can't remove the short shaft because the joint is too big for the hole. Looks like I need to drop the transmission to make room. Any suggestions?
