I wouldn't want to be a pain but are you sure the gearbox would work in your application ?
It's been a lot of time since the AX era and a gearbox mated to today's 1,4 HDi is probably a stronger unit than the one you had in your car.
That being said I once fitted the diff of a diesel variant in my 1981 Mk1 Golf GTi to good effect.
