that pin is part of the differential and the reason for the old gearbox not having one might be because that is what caused it to fail? does the gearbox have slight variations depending on the year of the car?

No I have been told the gearboxes are the same. So the pin may still be in the end of this gearbox hence it not fitting?

I have been told the shafts can be different. I was speaking to a gearbox re-conditioners and they said some of the shafts are half an inch longer on the spline.

i know 106's use to have different length driveshafts because they had different depth hub nuts depending on the shaft so might be the same case with the 206's
