6speed 02m from GTI swap to my TDI??

So I found a 02m from a gasser 20th GTI locally for cheap, ($500) but doesnt have axles. What exactly would I all need to swap the 6 speed into my already manual 5 speed jetta? I'm assuming a new clutch and axles atleast? Will the trans have the wrong gear ratios for my TDI? Should I buy it for anyways?? Lol

Sooo I bought it for $400... please tell me I'm not screwed! Lol

The gear ratios in the 02M will be for a gasser. They won't really play well with a diesel engine. But yes, you'd need a 6 speed clutch, and axles. I think you also need a 6 speed starter, possibly shift linkage and cables, and trans mount bracket. Not worth it IMO. Go with a slightly longer 5th gear in your 02J if you want to rev lower on the highway.

I think you are pretty screwed.

^Yes.

Having no experience with this I've read the manual gear differences are an issue, good news is the correct transmission is not real expensive.

Gear ratios are different gas vs diesel. I would sell it and buy a taller 5th gear for your existing 02J or sell it and buy a proper tdi ratio gearbox.

Well I got lucky, the guy was parting out a bunch of stuff so i traded it back to him for a GTI steering wheel, headliner, and other useless stuff! What a guy! Haha
