Unca Joe and I have been talking of this.

He has come up with a cross reference table that will prove very useful
for those owners with auto tranny Vanagons. It significantly increases
the potential for auto tranny parts long into the future. This is
particularly important given Volkwagens propensity to relegate parts to
NLA status so frequently. All  it's going to take is one NLA part that
is critical and it will pretty near kill reasonable Vanagon ownership
because we won't be able to repair the things.

Watch for this cross reference.. I'm pretty sure Unca Joel will put it
out there shortly.
