ahh, another victim of failed syncros.  Seems to be a common thread on
the 01A series...

One went on mine a few thousand miles ago and I bought a used one from
Chris @ force 5 (www.force5auto.com).

It is possible to use the 016 tranny (from a 4kq) in a type 89.  It
requires some modification to the shift linkage but I doubt that is
outside your mechanical ability given the turbo swap.  You'll also need
the 4kq driveshaft. Full details here:

Hope that helps!
