Fitting 02j gearbox to mk3 vr6 golf

[courtz1976-2dr]

Cool so some more info the exact code I am looking at

02J 300 048 E

I have read in other forums that the 02a starter motor wont fit & needs to be one from 02J and that the shift mechanism (in car) needs to be from mk4 too. This one should also have the 108mm flanges (non bolt type) for Vr6

If anyone can confirm this or let me know what parts from original mk3 02a setup can be used and what cant be used.

So far options are 02j with 02a shift mechanism keep the rest
02j with 02j shift mechanism replace shifter with mk4 with some mods

the things I am not clear on are mainly pros cons of 02j shift mechanism + issues with the starter motor + ratios of the new gearbox

here are the originals

CCM====3.300=1.944=1.308=1.034=0.838=3.389==VR6 Passat, Jetta, Golf

here is the replacement (not sure if 100% accurate or matches code from new)

TRANSMISSION, 5 SPEED, 6 CYL 3.38 FINAL DRIVE, 108MM FLANGE, 1: 3.30, 3: 1.31, 5: 0.84, 2: 1.94, 4: 1.03, 99-05 GOLF, 99-04 GOLF/JETTA

So would rev a little higher in all gears in comparison to the original????

Thanks for your help
