[T2] 002 tranny interchangeability

[Jim Denton]

It is common to need to shorten the input shaft by 1/2" when using a Type 4
spec tranny with a Type 1 engine, as the gland nut positions the pilot
bearing differently.  I would think you could just swap the input shaft
from your early 002 into the later one and be fine, but haven't tried it
myself.
