Gene Berg did more for the aircooled engines than anyone would have thought
possible in an attempt to get Porsche power out of them:
http://www.geneberg.com/meetourteam.php  I've bought many of his parts over
the years, and since it isn't Friday here is the Vanagon content:  I added
his quick shift kit (http://www.geneberg.com/cat.php?cPath=17_486_2978) and
shift lever extender to my '84 Westy.  Very nice inexpensive options I
highly recommend.

Automatic '85 Westy, 3 million shifts is enough.

If you must buy one here's a couple of places you can check out:

There was one for sale a few months ago on the Samba for less than half the
prices quoted above but looks like it sold.
