Is it possible to fit the gear linkage assembly from the later (after 05-99) 02J transmission including cables / levers etc. at the transmission end ....to an early '99 Octavia Tdi.?

The early linkage needs special tools to adjust ......but the later one is much easier to adjust? Engine AHF 110 bhp

:bump:

:)Did some looking around other (VAG) gearboxes and found that the Selector Mechanism mounted on top of the gearbox, where the cables attach, is interchangeble from the early gearbox to the later gearbox - as the internal selector parts match up.

The entire mechanism is held on by two M8 bolts and pulls straight up (tap it with a soft faced mallet) to remove it. The newer unit should drop straight into the older box.
