5 speed gearbox replacement - GSJ vs. GET code

[zzsteve]

Hi,
Have a failed 5 speed box in my daughter's '05 1.6 Polo sedan. Have found a 9N polo 5 speed manual box with the gearbox code GET available online. My daughter's Polo has a GSJ coded box according to the VIN. They are both 02T boxes from what I can gather, and the VAG site shows them as having the same external structure. It is likely the GET box came from a 1.4 and although I'm looking for a box for a 1.6, would the GET box work? Would there be much involved to adapt it, as finding an exact match in a wreckers is very hard.
TIA
Steve

The main difference is the bell housing. Swapping the GSJ housing with the GET box worked well. The other difference is the diff output flanges, which are slightly larger on the GET box. Once again, swapping them over was possible. Linkages, clutch cylinder and ratios all matched up fine
