Finished up my conversion this past weekend. I removed the 01M 4 speed automatic from my 2001 Beetle and installed a 02J 5 speed (TDI ratios). I'm looking forward to 20% better mileage without coasting, and even better now that I can truly coast (no engine off though, not going to lose vacuum or power steering).
