Thanks, Stuart,
  Found it and got it out.  I was looking up on the top like it was in my
Beetle tranny...
  The 5sp was in my van, which was converted from a WBX to an inline 4 gas
motor by the PO.  He must have found a diesel van to get the tranny from.
It really is a great gearbox for me..As someone mentioned, going at a hill,
I backshift from 5th at about 65 and I can hold that speed in 4th with no
problem on all but the steepest hills.  I rarely use the first gear, which
is quite a "granny" ratio.  That 1st is perfect for crawling up steep rough
tracks or getting started on really steep hills.
