Welcome :)

You'll have to get some pictures up, the 6n/mk4's are great little cars and I don't think you'll be disappointed. Have you driven other VW hatches before?

Gearboxes can be found in a variety of places, froms scrappies, forum, repair the current one etc

Heeeeey.
First of all, welcome to the forum.
I'm still kind of new as well, but I noticed that you've got the same issue I had when I first bought my 6N.
My gearbox was broken as well.
I found a second hand gearbox for £130 and had it fitted as well as new brake shoes for £220 altogether.
I was delighted because most people said I got myself a bargain.
The gearbox was from a scrap yard.
Hope that helps?
Enjoy using the forum.
