I have seen D2's 'repaired' with the wrong gearbox before now, but probably not recommended.

On front wheel drive cars you have only a gearbox code, which includes the final drive ratio for the front wheels in the box.

On quattros you have 2 codes, one for the box, and one for the rear diff.

Get the right gearbox code and all will be well...
so is it engine , diff, box or engine ,box ,diff ?
