What is the gearbox codes on these two gearboxes?

If you can provide that, I can help with info on the gear ratios and speed or you can google the gearbox code to get the gear ratios for that code gearbox or get the info on this link found on the internet, https://www.zelek.com/diagram_Charts/diagramlist.htm.

Was the previous (now broken 1.9 TDI) gearbox 5 speed (02J gearbox, with one of these codes DQY, EBJ, EGR, GQQ or JCR)? That will explain why the gearbox mount differs.

You need to clearance the bearing runout for the correct clearance or you will end up destroying the gearbox due to too tight bearing clearance.
