MK5 6 speed conversion

Hi everyone,
Have a 2008 1.4 BUD. I know it's not a GTI but would like to swap the 5 speed gearbox to a 6 speed from a GTI or 1.4 tfsi. Does anybody have experience and done this before? Will it fit? What else do I need to replace? Thanks a lot

Almost certainly more hassle that its worth in all honestly.

Thanks, but still if there is a solution, I would like to try. The original 5th gear is very short and revs over 3.000rpm at a speed of 100km/h.
Thanks anyway

GTI gearbox won’t work but the MK5/6 1.4 TSI box might. The GTI and TDI got a completely different gearbox and clutch because of the higher torque.
