Heck I ain't tried it with the aircooled, we have a couple
little bumps out here, one named Ranier for instance, and I
barely made it up that with the diesel tranny, wouldn't want
to try it with less agressive gearing, currently have a diesel
4 spd in my van with the 1.8 digifant in it, wouldn't mind
higher gears, but certainly don't mind them when going up the
pass. saving my nickles 'til I can afford daryl to do the 5 spd
the right way.
