hi, I have a seat leon 1m 2004 tdi 81 kw 5 speed gearbox which is a bit bad, I would like to swap a 6 speed gearbox from my friend's Golf 4 96 kw, I am wondering what parts I need, I heard that the gearbox mounts fit, but I am wondering what other parts I need .

5sp. manual to 6sp. manual swap:
  • Transmission (obviously :) )
  • Starter
  • Clutch
  • Axles (and their bolts)
  • Tin between engine and transmission
  • Transmission mount bracket
  • Slave cylinder
  • Bleeder block for slave cylinder
  • Power steering line on both cars probably takes a different path to the steering rack; you can bend and "persuade" the power steering line to a certain extent - I re-used mine on both 6sp swaps I did, but if you have it all apart and available....might as well.
  • Proper 6sp. manual transmission oil
Pretty sure the engine-to-transmission bolts are swappable between the two.
