OK, so let me get this straight- this is a real transmission that
comes in forms that will bolt up to any Vanagon (and presumably buses
back to '76)? Do the Weddle Engineering transmissions actually have
more overdrive than what we have now, or is there simply a gear
between 2 and 3 like Gene Berg's 5-speed kit for Bugs that has a gear
between 3 and 4? Sorry to bug you guys with questions, but...

Thanks,
Sam
