Does anyone has a diagram of the B5 transmission. I went to a mechanic who pointed out a crack in some part under my car, but he didn't know what it was called. I don't want to have to pay for a diagnostic at VW, so if I could see the part and tell them, it would save me $85. Thanks people.

The crack was under the car between both of the front wheels.

I don't think it was connected to the engine. It was more like a crack in the frame. I wish I could draw it... here's my kindergarten attempt lol. The crack was evident when he lifted the car up and I got underneath. Picture being under the car looking up... this it what it would look like in an oversimplified world. Any idea? Or perhaps a different diagram?

If it helps at all... whatever the problem is, it makes my car slightly shake when I'm in 1st or 2nd gear. If I accelerate, it feels like the whole frame is shifting, but at higher speeds, it's fine again. A mechanic told me it could be the motor mount, but another told me it had to do with the crack.
