When I did my 914 trans swap into my beetle, it was very straight forward after doing a TON of research.
If you are using a T4 engine, why not use the gearbox that was meant to go with that engine ? Making a front mount is no big deal and the shift rod is a peice of cake if you use 2 U-joints and a piece if steel tubing. Use a Scat Dragfast shifter and you are laughing.
The gear pattern is OK ... I rarely use first gear in my beetle anyways ... I've got enough torque to start off in second ... and only use first to play with the Ricers at the lights.
I got my nosecone/hockey stick for cheap and the gearbox was reasonably priced.
