Subject:      Converting Doka to Auto trans... Questions regarding late model
              floor vent/tunnel

Hello Folks, I am starting a conversion project on my 1988 Canadian spec Doublecab. Have already added powersteering -- love it. Now I am looking to convert from 4-speed to automatic transmission for City driving convenience. This Doka is equipped with rubber matts rather than carpets. My question has to do with the center floor vent. This is that plastic housing which goes between the front seats and vents rearward. I assume this is the same for the buses as well. This vent housing is the same as the on I have on my 1989 Syncro 16 Doublecab. Up until that point, I thought that "taller" vent was only used on diesel vans and trucks. Guess not since this is a 2.1 powered truck. The trouble I am having with this is I am planning on using a shift console from an earlier van which bolts to a flat floor vent. The vent in my Doka rises at an angle towards the front. Is there a special shift console for these later model housings? Or am I stuck going to the earlier style floor vents if I convert to auto trans? Any opinions on compatibility of the VR6 to the auto trans? Sorry for the Vanagon content. =)
