My friend had a 96 Golf 2.0L Auto and the trans is dead, no forward gears, so we got a trans out of a 94 Jetta GL 2.0 Auto. It is a different trans, I think the one out of the Golf was the CLK and the one that we have is a CLA. Only differences on the outside is this one has a dipstick where as the other was sealed, and the axles are different. Does the CLA trans use axles from a Manual trans? The axles in the Golf trans were sealed on the trans side and the axles out of the Jetta are not sealed, just like the Manual axles. Advance Auto had no clue, they went ahead and ordered the Manual axles to see if they would fit.

I tried doing a search on VW Vortex, but I either dont know how to use the search or they dont talk about anything technical there as I didnt find any results.
