First off, the shift linkage on pre '83 vanagons is totally different. I
don't know if you can use the older transmission with the newer style
linkage though....
Furthermore, the gearing is very different. I don't know if it would be
desireable for a WBX engine.
I believe the front transmission mount is totally different as well. You'd
have to mount the earlier style mount.
