Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Dear Vanagon List:

   I either need some advice or some sympathy. I have a '93 Eurovan; the "top end" of the 5-cyl engine is shot and the differential bearing in the 5-spd tranny is wearing out.  Can I fit a used VR6 from a wrecked Audi into it or should I just get someone to do a ring job on the 5-cyl?  Also what about the tranny - rebuild it, buy a new one or repace it with a automatic?

   I think I have a few months before anything is going to drop out but I need to start thinking about what my options are.  Thanks for any advice.
