Does anybody know if the mainshaft, lay shaft and gears from a mk3 four sychomesh gearbox can be fitted in a mk1 gearbox housing with a magic wand gear lever ?

Yes. (Vegard does know)

No. (They can't)

But you could try and get hold of a Van / pickup 4 synchro with conversion for magic wand lever.

My Dad's built a few of those ;)

The box Ceejam refers to is an excellent solution to this problem, but they are few & far between.
