Luck, maybe... 
Is that with 90 mm axles?
The reason that I ask is that I have a recently rebuilt 2H, that I'm
thinking of using in my 16V.

I've had both a 2H and a 2Y(16V) self destruct on me, the 2H @ 158K, and
the 2Y @ 219K miles.

How are the synchros, if they are good, I'd feel better about it. 
I'd run it, and in the meantime you might want to build up your next
tranny.
I don't think any 020 transaxle will hold up very long, unless you get a
Quaife, or at least a differential bolt kit.
