16vs and mk3s have a different spline diameter than the old mk1/mk2 8v trannies.

Half the time I don't use those things anyways. I just center it by eye and feel. Of coarse I've been doing it that way since I was about 15 so I got some practice.  ;D

It is not splined but the nipple is too big to fit inside the clutch plate. Your ttansmission should have a smaller diameter input shaft.

Eyeing it is fine.  The tool only helps get the tranny on.  Once it is on, the first time you push the clutch, it aligns itself.
