The B7 gearbox is an 0A3 and shares virtually nothing with the 01E apart from the shifter mechanism. I have a one from a 3.0TDI in the workshop, bought cheap out of curiosity. Its longer (so custom propshaft), the diff is offset differently (so custom driveshafts), it has no provision for mounts on the side (so custom mounting solution) and it has no speedo output as it comes from the ABS in those models (so GPS or some other custom solution). It would require a substantial amount of work to put in a D2 - possible, but just not worth it. You'd be better off building an 01E with custom ratios.
