Pardon the interruption, at least it's VW-related and not spam... ;)

Reverse gear in my wife's '90 Jetta is shot and I'm looking for a cheap way
to get this thing back on the road. I hate to pay big bucks (~$1500) to have
a shop pull the tranny and put in a good rebuild. So I'm thinking of getting
a junkyard tranny and doing the work myself. I have 2 questions:

1. How difficult is it to R&R a manual tranny on a Jetta?
2. Does anyone happen to have a functional tranny sitting around?

Thanks in advance, and please respond privately--no need to clutter the list
