I currently have an 02a box and 02a shifter tower mounted in car and through firewall.
However I am wanting the interior to all look stock so want the center console around my gear stick.
If I buy an 02j tower and mount underneath the car, how do I go about fitting the cables to the shifter at the gearbox, also is there enough room to mount under there with a 2.5'' exhaust??
Cheers

you will also need the 02j bit for the gearbox.

Does the 02j bit for the gearbox, fit straight onto the 02a box?

shifter bit fits in the hole, you may need the bottom bearing as well.

Can I swap the gearbox selector bracket without taking out the gearbox, does it just pull out from the top?

The advantage is that it keeps all the shifter and interior of the car stock. My 02A had just had the tower refurbed with new phosphor bronze bushes so it seemed a shame to change it all out, plus the difficulty and cost of finding all the right cable change bits made this seem like reasonable value.
It's arrived and looks exactly as in the photo, all stainless steel. I'll be fitting it in the next few weeks and will report back on how I get on.

I was looking at that aswell when I had the o2a setup. The 02a shifter in car is pants I hated it . Now with a o2j setup its like a 2013 car rolled out the factory. Its not hard to find the bits a mk4 golf gti has everything U need. I list the parts later
Worth knowing - I'll keep that in mind if the rod change doesn't feel good
