Subject:Install a 5 speed syncro tranny in my 2WD Vanagon
From:Todd Olson
Date:Mon, 28 Jan 2008 19:39:32 -0500

Hello Fellow Vanagon Pilots,

Has anyone installed a 5 speed Syncro tranny with diff lock in a 2WD
Vanagon? How difficult is this? Any unforeseen challenges? I tow a light
weight boat behind my 2WD Westy in the summer and I need the granny gear and
the diff lock to get out of some boat ramps. Do I have to locate a syncro
dash module with the locker switches or can I just rig up a regular switch.
Is there any shift linkage modifications? Any other additional parts I need
to purchase?

Thank you in advance for your help and advice.

Anyone have a syncro tranny for sale?

Wishing you many miles of smiles!

Todd Olson
