Sounds ok but if we are going to change to manual would change the whole lot engine and box,but thanks for the idea so would a auto box from a gti cabrio be a straight fit into a 1.5 gl ? anybody please.

He's virtually gotta take the engine out to do gearbox lol.
Now would be the time to change it. To do box, you only need the 5speed linkage, tower, bracket on steering rack, box, clutch, and cable. (I think) I've got most of this as I'm removing my whole box for 02a setup…

GTis never came with auto. However, any Mk1 or Mk2 Golf/Jetta auto box should fit, so I'd look for an auto box or someone breaking one of the above cars.
There's a lot of parts to change for a manual conversion, so its probably not cost effective.

The GLS came with auto box and power steering (LHD only PAS), and it came with the 1800 k-Jetronic injection engine.
Therefore an automatic 1800gti cabriolet (aka 155 in Europe)
