Will a 190 mm friction disk fit into a VW Fox?

Working with what is at hand I wonder if the items in the subject line
will fit, spline wise?

What is this 190mm disc off of?
If it does fit the input shaft of the trans and you can install it...but if it
only works for a short period of time you want to do this job again????
Change the pilot bearing also and a new pressure plate (Clutch Cover) is good
to install too.
The pressure plates seem to get rusty and stiff to use which makes the clutch
pedal hard to press down and puts added stress on the cable.

I have a friction disk ordered some time back that turned out to be a
190 mm. It fit's older VW Rabbits. My question is whether the disk will
fit a VW Fox of not, even though I already know the 'proper' size for
the Fox is 210 mm.

The only comment I have is "would you be happy if your dealer fixed it that
way"?

Different diameter splines and it will not fit correctly on the transmission
input shaft. :-(
So buy the correct one! ;-)
But really it won't fit. The VW Fox clutch disc should have the same spline
diameter as the air cooled Beetles and that 190mm Rabbit clutch disc spline
diameter will be much larger in width.

Woodchuck, you're not quite looking at it in the proper light, which is
my fault for (purposely) not providing motivational reasons for doing
the wrong thing.

But Thx anyway.
