Well it won't be a simple bolt on fix if at all possible? You can buy a 6speed kit for the 020 mk3 box but it's not cheap (try quaife.com for info)

they sell them for £550!! (I'm unsure of the box but a 6speed is about £2500!)

I doubt anything off that would fit, i dont think the Mk4 front even fits,  unless you get hold of the rare MK3.5 cabby front end.
