Hello Fellow Vanagon Pilots, Has anyone installed a 5 speed Syncro tranny with diff lock in a 2WD Vanagon? How difficult is this? Any unforeseen challenges? I tow a light weight boat behind my 2WD Westy in the summer and I need the granny gear and the diff lock to get out of some boat ramps. Do I have to locate a syncro dash module with the locker switches or can I just rig up a regular switch. Is there any shift linkage modifications? Any other additional parts I need to purchase?
Thank you in advance for your help and advice.
Anyone have a syncro tranny for sale?
Wishing you many miles of smiles! Todd Olson Buses By the Beach
