Hi Dave.

There was a thread recently on this list about swapping from 4 spd to
5 spd. Worth checking out.

Try the archives:

http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?S1=vanagon

for pros/cons on a diesel setup. Lots of info there. There is also a
diesel vanagon group:

http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Diesel-Vanagon/

very worthwhile checking that group too!

Cheers,
