You'd have to add a flywheel, and adjust the end play. You might have to 
replace the AAR with the MT version, but I've heard that some of the AT cases 
didn't have the hole there that the MT version required. I've never seen that, 
but I've taken off very few AT AARs. In the worst case, you would just use the 
AT AAR and wire it up. The wire for it is present, even though it would have 
been cut short on an MT car.

Tempting yes, but it's gonna go for a lot of money, or not go at all.

 Who knows? It sure looks new to me, but I don't have Russ's dealership 
experience. Even if it WAS a complete new engine, I never would have expected 
to see it come with a new FI wiring harness. Was this a standard part of a VW 
factory rebuild, Russ?

Where was the VW rebuild facility? ISTR hearing that it was somewhere in Canada 
for the North American market. Too bad there is no return address visible on 
that crate.

Are there more of these out there? Probably....   ;-)
