I had my '91 Westy 2wd  Automatic for 3 years and loved it. The only
advantage I see now with my '87 Syncro Westy is the 1st, granny gear. My
auto worked great. I think if it had experienced kick-down problems, that
would have been a real negative function issue. Mine didn't but I've read
here that some volks did.
