<font face="Century Gothic">Not a syncro transmission, but I have an
094 5speed from Sought Africa that I put in my 2wd 88 Westy and added
the Syncro diff lock.<br>
I also added the syncro dash parts and diff-lock knob. It was a
relatively easy swap.<br>
You should also replace the 4spd shift linkage.<br>
<br>
I have a parts list if you are interested.<br>
<br>
P.S. it is not an inexpensive conversion.<br>

I did have the transmission regeared so 5th is and OD - so that cuts my
freeway rpm significantly and ups the MPG by about 1mpg.<br>

  <pre wrap="">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
