We installed the Weddle 5 spd about a month ago. We =
went with
"stock" unchanged ratios. This only cuts the top gear rpms =
by a
few hundred. In this config. it's not an =
"overdrive". It
does however cut the rpm drop between gears alot allowing the =
engine to
stay nearer the peak of it's power curve. Weddle does have =
options
for a taller 5th gear or taller final drive. Yeah, it is a lot =
of $, but
to me it has been worth it.

>They are available for ballpark $2500 USD =
from
Weddle Industries $2500 seems like a lot of money, $1495 =
sounds
alot better. Can anyone who has one from weddle let me know =
if it is
worth over half what I paid for my Vanagon? I would say at =
least 75%
of my driving is done over 60 mph, I would like to improve my =
mpg and
help the engine last longer, I guess if you consider engine =
longevity
then a really expensive trans is worth it?? I would think =
lowering
rpms by 1k on extended trips would help the engine last =
longer over
several thousand miles of highway =
driving. Nathan 85
