the 02a shift tower will bolts right onto a 02J. There are 2 types of 02a shift towers and you need to make certain you get the shift box from the same style. the differeance in the shift boxes is the way the cables are bracketed to the tranny.There are also two types of 02J shift towers and shift boxes. The early have the same shift towers as the later 02A and had slightly different shift boxes.I have a set of early style 02J shift cables and shift box $75+shipping
So you can modify 02A box and cables for an 02J tranny? Go figure. I've not seen any info for that yet.And I'll be sourcing my mounts from Dan Bubb, or J. Daniel on the VwVortex. They are a little pricey but fit like butter and include everything you need to drop them in, like stainless hardware. They come powdercoated as well, and he modifies your passenger side mount and will press in the new rubber mounts too. He makes them for 02A and 02J trannys. Some pics:I've met Dan before (he's an older guy, not some punk kid!) and he really knows his stuff.Brendan
