Hi John,

The 76-79 loaf 090 = has a longer pinion gear shaft by about a centimeter than the one used on = the 002 68-75. The 3rd and 4th gears can be swapped but that is about it. =

Does anyone know if the ring and = pinion from the late model Loafs ('76-79') are the same (apart from the ratio's) as = the early Aircooled Vanagon manual transmissions?

Regards

John.
