Any tips for removal/installation of Auto tranny in an A2?

[drew at scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (Drew MacPherson)]

Auto tranny swaps are pretty straightforward, provided you are able to 
salvage the existing throttle and shifter linkage.  Up here in the rust - 
er - snow belt, accomplishing this on a 15 year-old car is a challenge.  
Replcing these parts is probably equal to a downpayment on a new Golf... 
:)

Another option would be to swap a 5 speed in place of the auto - to do 
this up right the easiest thing to do is line up a donor next to the 
patient so you have easy access to all the parts you need.
