I've asked a few VW tranny guys about this and all said no problem. Well
maybe one problem. $$$$$

The Vanagon 2WD has close to a 50-50 weight distribution front to rear.
That is why they fair so poorly offroad compared to 4WD and T2s. The
Syncro tranny has another advantage, drastically lower reverse and
granny gears.
