You need to fit the passat or corrado pedal box to use the hydraulic clutch, and install the cable shifter in the tunnel.

thanks a million micksheen. will the master cyclinder of my golf link up to the clutch ok ?

The mk2 uses a cable to operate the clutch, as standard, whereas the passat uses a hydraulic system. You can fit the passat pedal box and master cyl by drilling the bulkhead to allow the m/c to fit, or you can get a lever that replaces the slave cyl, from a seat, and retain the cable for the clutch.

Bolting in the shifter is straightforward however, but you've to drop the exhaust to do it, iirc.
