Have an '03 Jetta with the 01M and 330000Km showing. Have done a bit of work to it thus far with more planned so long as the car stays viable engine/transmission wise.
Seeing as the 01M seems to not get much love around here, and sounds pricey to rebuild properly...I have been giving some thought to a 5spd swap when the day comes.
Will any similar year 5spd from a Golf or Jetta bolt right up? What about interior pieces? Thinking is to pick up one of the TDI cars I'm seeing with blown motors...should have all the pieces, and most if not all usable.
Room and neighbor complaints are non issues as I live in the country.
