<< Will an Aircooled Vanagon transmission fit an 84 Vanagon?

 Recap: I found an 84 Westy I'm negotiating for with a dead tranny.
 There's an aircooled in a pick-n-pull junkyard with a tranny that I can
 get for ~$85.  If it'll fit, I can be on the road while saving for a
 rebuild. >>
Aaahhhh..well sort of.......you will need the shifter rods from the bus and
the lenght/mount issue may stump you for a while...AND the A/C tranny is not
apt to be any good.....
In this case I'd have to say that "If you have to ask, the answer is no"
It can be done, but it's not a drop in

Ooops! I was baseing the above on a 4 speed...the auto will work fine (with
the cooler lines joined under the 84)...
