you can use any 5 spd. transmission from any 80 to 98 golf jetta rabbit or pickup as long as it has a cable clutch. They're called 020 transmissions by VW cause that's what any part number for the unit starts with - 020. Some use different clutch discs but otherwise they all interchange. For your application though the 7A is probably the best because of the gear ratios VW put in that unit. if I were you I would not get a gasser trans your car will be numb off the line. Make sure the trans you get has a 3.89 or 3.94 final drive ratio.

In your mk1 - only 85-86 mk2 trans will direct bolt / mount. Newer models would need some bracket / mounts fabbed. Check out www.brokevw.com he has pix showing the mk1 mk2 differences. Most 85-86 have both provisions. www.a2resource.com has all the tranny codes apps ratios etc.... on my cell phone now or would give direct links.
Im not going to get something i have to modify. I think im just going to get a FF trans. I think i found on that hopefully will work...
