When you say, "newer," what do you mean?  I did a new 
clutch/cable/short shift kit/tranny rebuild/bushing replacement in my 
car, and it feels great.

Probably the best things you can do are a new set of shift linkage 
bushings and a new cable.

Now, depending on what you mean by "newer," the newer cars have 
cable-shifted trannies.  My Passat GLX does (02A tranny, I believe). 
That has a very different feel than the A1's.  ANd that is quite a 
bit of work to swap in, if it's possible.
