Subject:      90 Vangon Trany swap
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Need advice: bought a 90 vanagon Westy camper in  April 97.  After 6
months,  I find the 4 -speed manual transmission is just too much  effort
for city stop & go trafffic. I want an automatic, though I know It will not
have the same power. I want  the convience of the automatic, but still like
my camper.


I had a rebuilt VW vanagon engine installed when I bought it ( leaking
head gasket ), so I have invested
a bit in the vehicle.  Is it possible to swap  the manual transmission for
an automatic? What's involved?
Cost? Anyone done this? Better yet, anyone with an automatic who wants the
transplant of a 4 speed?
The clutch was replaced in 96, so its in good shape. Otherwise, will sell
the Westy for  $11,500. Ideas?
