If you like to gamble a bit -- you can go pull a transmission at pick'n'pull for $130 (+$30/core). Lots of mk4 VW's hitting these lots now.

I could be wrong but doesn't the 02M require different CV axles and different spindles than the regular 1.8T 5 speed?

I'm not sure actually but some would use the "opportunity" to upgrade so I thought I'd suggest it.

Looking at the followup, I see the mission is to get back on the road and preserve funds for the E30 project... so not the best option for this situation.

OP - nice looking Jetta btw and welcome - hope the repair quote is reasonable!

Re: New to the forum with some questions

There are early and late style shift linkage ends. It should be an easy swap of the turret top and linkage weight to the style that was on your old transmission (if you still have it). If not you can simply change the end of the linkages to the older style but the newer style is quite a bit nicer and has all the aftermarket options for aluminum inserts

Re: New to the forum with some questions

okay thought the trans wasnt for a 1.8t was gonna go nuts , the install was harder than the removal , but the old trans is stuck at a shop till monday so im gonna get a bracket from pick n pull and get er done
