Why not just repair the auto or install a good used one? The auto are
very reliable and while they do wear out, they do not beak as easily as
the 4-speeds. Any good tranny shop should be able to repair it if you
can't where as the 4 speeds are somewhat specialized.

Subject: Q's about converting an '89 Auto to 4spd?

Found a 1989 Vanagon locally here, it runs well but the Auto tranny is
shot.  What is required to convert this to a 4spd?  Does the year/model
the manual tranny is from matter?  And lastly has anyone done this, and
how hard was it?  I consider myself fairly mechanical but I've never
converted anything automatic to anything manual.  Thanks for any help or
suggestions you can offer.
