A loaf tranny will not work in a Vanagon. Your options are what you have or you can change the linkage and use a later tranny. There are some gearing options if you want to have one built up. Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Aristotle Sagan Sent: Sunday, September 20, 2009 3:42 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Aircooled transmission options Hi all, If I choose to get my 81 Westy back on the road, what are my options for replacing the 2 speed manual transmission in the bus? 3rd and 4th are not good options while driving the Sierras. I guess the question is, will type 2 transmissions from a loaf work in my bus or are there cheep 80-83 transmissions out there?
