I have one in my '88 now.  VW never officially sold 5 speeds in gas powered
vans, so any 5 spds. that are here were brought in individually.  Mine came
from Chris Weddle at Weddle Industries. info@2weddle.com.  The only changes
needed to install this 5 speed are a different mount on the nose of the
tranny, and a shift linkage to work with a 5 spd. rather than a 4.  Chris
sells the linkage too, but I chose to modify the 4spd. linkage which is
working fine.
