Europe and Canada and everywhere except the US got the close ratio 5-speed transmissions. (the 094) while in the us we got the 091 Does anyone know of a good 5-spd gearing combination for the 1.9 liter or 2.1 with normal first thru fourth gearing and an overdrive fifth. maybe a 0.77 or 0.73 for 5th

Here is a cool link to show all of the gear ratios for our vanagons

I have come up with this combo for my 85 Westy

1st 3.78 2nd 2.06 3rd 1.23 4th 0.85 5th 0.77 or maybe a 0.70

transaxle of 4.86 or 4.83..

will this work for a stock 1.9 liter? Malibu Tony 85' Westy
