2g trans swap to a 1g fwd is it possible ?

[4g63forlife]

I can get a good deal on a used low mileage '97 gst trans (5 spd ) , would it be able to fit into my '93 tsi , would it be alittle better , or not worth the trouble?cause i already know the 1g transmissions grind/suck , and i've driven a '97 gst before , it was alot smoother. just figured i'd ask before i buy.

it will work. you can put a 2g into a 1g but not a 1g into a 2g. a 2gb tranny is much better anyway.

the 1g "es" stock axles won't work with the 2g gs-t transmission ,will the 2g axles work for a '93 1g chassis ?There is to much play , and it won't even lock in the 2g trans for the output shaft for the 1g axle.

i found out how to do it i mixed the '95 gs-t output shaft trans side ( guess it would be called ) and stuck the '93 axle in it and it works great just have to worry about snappin the damn things.
