Found an '04 1.8T AMB with a 01W six speed manual trans that supposedly only has a bad input shaft bearing. Not opposed to replacing the input shaft bearing but want a back up plan in case I find more wrong with trans when I open it up. Trying to replace the girlfriend's car, '03 3.0 AVK with a 01E six speed manual trans.

I'm wondering if the 01E will bolt up to the AMB block in the '04. I don't believe VSS will be an issue since from what I researched the ECM gets speed input from the wheel speed sensors on '03 an up instead of from the VSS in the trans like the older models used.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
