I googled it to no avail. >Thanks, Anthony >'89 Syncro GL (Hidalgo) Overland Parts Express. http://overlandparts.com/ They used to be just wholesale to dealers. (I was a dealer back in the 1980's.) They often brought in containers of German and South African stuff. Neat stuff like 5 speed Vanagon transmissions. When the tranny in my 87 Vanagon died in 1996 I checked on a 5 speed. About $1100 my cost then. that seemed like too much for me then. Duh! I wish I'd bought it now. BTW, these were Southa African 5 speeds with 4.57 R & P. They imported a lot of diesel stuff maybe 5 years ago, but it seems to have all dried up. About all they show now is th 2.6 5 cylinder kit. $6450 with the CARB listed exhaust. $1500 less without it. Vey nice setup, I'm sure. Perhaps they now sell direct. http://overlandparts.com/5%20cylinder%20kit.htm I imaginge most any list vendor could sell their stuff. Heck, I could probably reinstate my account and get the stuff, if you happen to be in the midwest. Al Brase
