Subject:Auto to Manual Trans Question
From:Clifford P Gottschalk
Date:Mon, 9 Jul 2001 23:12:03 -0600

Hello List - I currently own two Vanagons, one manual and one automatic.
The manual is a '89 7 passenger van and the automatic is an '85 Westy.  I
am contemplating on doing a transmission swap between the two - I prefer
to have the manual in the Westy and the wife would prefer the automatic
in the passenger van.  Here's my question - other than the usual stuff in
doing the swap, I need to know if there is anything different with the
torque converter flex plate on the 1.9 and the 2.1?  Will the 1.9 flex
plate work OK on the 2.1?  As far as I can tell there isn't any
difference - perhaps someone out there happens to know.  Thanks!  Cliff
