Why would you want to change the v5 engine? Any other engine would require aftermarket ecu.

Howzit bud?

I think that the best bet would be for you to sell the car and get a Jetta 2.0 perhaps instead of the V5?
To answer your question, no your gearbox will not fit the APK engine, well not directly. You would need to change your gearbox bell housing to make the V5 gearbox fit on the APK engine.

If all else fails i will buy the gearbox from you and get you a cable shift gearbox compatible with that APK engine
