Can I replace it with a 5-speed gearbox ? Can/should I use the 5-speed gearbox from a diesel wanagon ? Can/should I use the 5-speed gearbox from a wassserboxer ? Is it worth the trouble or should I just get a new 4-speed gearbox ? >> If your '82 CrewCab is a aircooled 2 liter then the answers to your questions are as follows: no no no no yes. you can't use a wasserboxer trans in an aircooled van, and the only "5 speed" trans in a wasserboxer was in the syncro, and that wasn't really a 5 speed, just a 4spd with a creeper gear. chris
