Are these still in production?

Could someone clarify what would be required to put a 5speed into my mk1? Currently running a 4speed deisel engine because the previous owner shredded a few petrol boxes already.

Do we just swap the mounts and the 5speed goes straight in, or are there additional modifications required to fit a 5speed into a mk1?

I have an 8v 1.8 GTI motor in my 1976 LS.

You need a mount and also a modification to your shift linkage or install 5 speed linkage bits from a cabby

Since you're doing these conversions, I assume that the 5speed mount can't just be taken out of a mk2 and put into the mk1...

I might be hitting you up for one of these in the near future. Do you have any converted ones on hand? Then I could send you my 4speed mount when I've done the swap.
