1G to 2G tranny question...

[Seven]

A friend at a shop has a 95 TSi AWD with an automatic tranny sitting for sale for a damn nice price. I can afford more but I know he babied the car. I was wondering if it's possible to swap in a 5 speed?

I mean. I know its POSSIBLE.... What I really wanna know is, (since theyre cheaper) will a 1G tranny fit in a 2G? To keep the cost down.
Thanks

I am about to put one into mine....the only thing that you will have to do is this....you the bell housing half will have to be from a 2g, the other half, can be from the 1g. Additionally, you will have to modify the mounting bracket on the 1g side. It isnt too bad to have to do but it can be done. If you have any questions...hit me up.
