Fer what it's worth, Stan Wolfarth is a Vanagon listmember. Stan's an
editor for Bentley. Why don't you just bite the bullet and BUY a
Bentley. If ya can't afford a new one, there are three of them on ebay
at less than $50.

Amazon has a few listings as well. If you enter Amazon through this
door < http://www.clubvw.corvallis.or.us/wetwesties/books.html >
WetWesties gets a little piece of the pie.

Ron at BusDepot probably has a better price than Amazon though
<http://www.busdepot.com>

And no, the ratios didn't change. Same gearbox.
