<< I own a 1982 crewcab with a broken 4-speed gearbox.

 
 I am about to replace it...

 
 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.
