Haha. Never wrong to ask questions.

Yes, they use the same clutch and flywheel. There's just a center-bearing, that needs to be replaced on the engine (in the center of the flywheel).

Actually, I ended up with the Volvo flywheel and the VW clutch, because the VW flywheel was a bit scorched from offroading abuse and the Volvo clutch was at the rivets, while the VW clutch was at 50%.

The LT box in the 4x4's are the 5-gear tranny, that was available for all LT's. It's a dogleg gearbox, where the first gear is a crawl gear and the fifth gear is at 1:1. The max speed an LT would go at was varied, depending on what rear differential you ordered it with.
