Another Great question. I can only "assume", that being as I have only seen one type of 2.0 bell housing, that there would not have been a " special" bellhousing and trans just for the 1.6, however the 1.6 and 2.0 motors are verry different. I have seen a different Automatic bellhousing with the starter on the Drivers side ( dont know what that was for but maybe a right hand drive car). I will look into this a little further and get back to you.

Did you ever find out if the 1.6 and 2.0 had the same tranny bolt pattern?
