Hi The List

I'm looking for any info on upgrading my '87 GL 4 speed manual tranny to
a 5 speed. First off: how available would such an animal be. I don't
seem to see any 'for-sale' vehicles with them (I live in Portland, OR).
Are they available rebuilt? New? From whom? Bad decision on VW's part if
you ask me. Given their weight they should have all come with 5 speeds,
especially the Westies.

I just went and did a search on the list and the main name that popped
up was Weddle Engineering. Does anyone know how I could contact them? I
will do a search on the web but not everyone is wired yet. Another name
was Todd Hill. Are you out there Todd?

The linkage doesn't seem to be a major problem and the front mount
doesn't seem too difficult. This just may work. I don't want to deal
with the SA bell housing tho'.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks,

Arlen
