I don't understand.... is this going into your '84 westy? If so, an aircooled transmission will not work. The shifter setup is completely different, not to mention undesireable gear ratios. All transmission from '83.5-91 will work for your needs, if that's what your needs are. -Craig '85GL turned WESTY BOSTIG in the back.
