Been thinking of a lil project...
Well it came to me yesterday at work and couldn't stop thinking about it and what would have to be done. ANyways. My cousin has a MK3 jetta that he's had nothing but troubles and now the car has sat for 2 years in his mom's garage. The tranny took a ---- and finding a tranny is extremely hard up here in WI and I called some junkyards and they told me if they had one it would be 7-800!!! 
---- that ----! I was thinking since I saw a B18A1 at my local pick and pull and I could score the hole setup for 225 longblock and tranny. It's nice since the Jetta uses a cable clutch setup and with the A1 tranny is cable. I'd make the mounts but where I can get custom axles made? I'd modify the shift linkage and ditch that shitty VW shifter assembly. Next I'd run it off a PR4 obd0 ecu to make things alil simplier. I'd use the entire engine harness off the teg and part of the dash harness and use the teg cluster too. I just don't have any idea of where or how much the axles would run. The Jetta has a Neuspeed supercharger that I would pull of and sell to fund it. Any problems you'd see that I'd run into? Don't suggest a VR6 cause I don't even want to ---- around with VW engines and ---- cause that just gives me a headache and the price of that ---- is retarded. I don't see having a problem fitting it into the engine bay or anything like that. It's just the axles are what making think twice and how to make them.
