I asked the same question a few months back. Apparently the simple answer
is no. The prop shaft is shorter I believe, and the flywheel and clutch are
differant as well.
I ended up rebuilding mine. It was not nearly as easy as I had hoped but I
did make it through and it seems to work ok.
Good luck whatever you do,

Subject: Three rail-single rail tranny swap
I need to replace the clutch in my newly acquired Mk I and since the
current 3 rail tranny has sloppy shifting, whining, no 1st gear
synchros, etc., I was wondering if I could just bolt on my spare
single-rail transmission instead. Is it a straight swap or are there
clearance/drive shaft issues?
Thanks,
