When I had my transmission rebuilt by a local mechanic (A very good mechanic in Dallas!) he mentioned that the transmissions in the Vanagons were actually Audi units. In fact, I remember him mentioning that he obtained some parts for mine from an Audi transmission source. I wonder if it might be possible to obtain "gearing" that would take more advantage of something like a VR6 or Corrado G60 engine.
