I have many customers who love the .77 4th gear set I have put in during
rebuilds...only one who did not, he had an anemic 1.9 westie.  Yes...
there is a bit more gap between 3rd and 4th, but its seems not to be a
problem. It drops 500 rpm or so at freeway speeds. If your gonna run out
of poop in 4th gear, your gonna go into 3rd anyway, just maybe a little
sooner. Just another option to consider.

Does anyone know whether a five-speed transmission was offered on a =
1982-1984 diesel Vanagon?Also, would like advice on re-gearing the =
fourth gear and possibly third gear to decrease rpm during highway =
driving.
