The flanges are different, the shift mechanism is different so you would need to adapt and fit the shifter from the leon and the engine mounting is on the end of the box rather than off the side of the diff housing. Its do able but not just direct swap.

Way to much work for 1 extra gear plus the 5 speed is better.
