Eric Pitman <norton85@BELLATLANTIC.NET> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Date: Thursday, May 27, 1999 9:57 PM Subject: Trans Problems When the Trans in my 84 Westy craped out on me I ordered a aircooled 80-83 trans with a modified linkage from Trans-Form in CA. the whole thing includeing shipping cost about a $1000 with a one year warrenty. I have had no problems with it and have 20,0000 miles on it so far. I used the back dated trans kit so I can swap gear ratios if I want to, for the water cooled trans you cant do that you are stuck with factory ratios only Eric P 84 Westy(Green Hornet) You can cut the pinion gear and have the pinion head welded to a earlier 002 pinion shaft. (this works well) You can then use the array of gears available for the 002 boxes in the 091s. Todd
