Don't know what a DSY really is.

Have not seen it in the parts info I've researched, probably just missed it.

If it's from a S4tt, it will work OK.  5th and 6th are slightly longer,
and turn the engine a little bit slower at a given road speed than
would a RS2 (CRB) gearbox.  1st through 4th are the same as a CRB.

Avoid a gearbox from a TDI (diesel), because the ratios are a LOT
longer than others.  Also avoid an Allroad gearbox, because the ring
and pinion ratio is different and will not work with your rear
differential ratio.
