Hello All, newbie to the forum here, by the way it is a great place!
I would like to ask you about the 02A to 02J conversion, which many VW fanatics are doing.
I've got a project car - Mk3 GTi 16V 1996, ABF engine with the stock 02A CDA code gearbox.
If I remember correctly, installing the 02J into my car if I don't want to do any cutting, requires a VW Polo shift box and the internals of the VW Golf 4/Skoda Octavia/Seat Leon shift mechanism inside of it, right?
Probably there was a discussion of what I am about to ask next, but here goes - isn't it possible to just take the Polo's shift box along with its own internals and directly swap it in my Mk3 GTi? I am just wondering and I did not find any info on this...
Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.
