Nope.  Final drive is wrong (200q20v is 4.11).

Rebuild?  Well over $1,000 just for the tranny rebuild- no 
removal/install labor.

After I bought a used transmission from a fellow lister, TMTek told 
me that they can get new 200q20v trannies from Germany for (what I 
considered) a reasonable price- I want to say it was in the ballpark 
of $500.

Unless they now stock them (which they were considering doing, in 
addition to 5/6 speeds for the s-cars), there's a delay due to 
shipping from Germany- at least 2 weeks, I think- maybe closer to a 
month.  They are located in southern NH.

Drop Glen Powell(former lister and 200q20v owner) a line if you want- 
glen at tmtek.com.
