Subject:Porsche automatic transmission in a vanagon? Is it possible?

Hi Volks, this is the same message that I wrote 2 days
ago, just wanted to change the subject line just in
case any list members from germany sees it...

My main quest is to find a way to lower as much as
possible the RPM for a TDI conversion with an
automatic transmission (porsche?).

-------------original message---------------

Hi Volks!

I was looking into upgrading my vanagon automatic
transmission. By the way I love the vanagon automatic,
it's a vacation vehicle is't it?

I looked in the rare option of ugrading it with a 3rd
bigger gear to lower the RPMs for my future diesel
engine conversion, but apparently that gear is NLA (No
longer Available).

I searched in the web if this was already done and did
not find any info, but does an automatic transmission
from a porsche 911 fit in the vanagon? just a
though... Or any other manufacturer?
