it's easier with fewer parts.
The KEP adapter and flywheel/torque converter drive plate costs less
than their manual trans adapter and flyhweel..
and there's no clutch kit to buy either.
You do need one extra part..
an oil cooler for the auto trans. Either a air-type finned oil cooler or
check out Heat Sink for vanagon auto trans.

plus....it's a pretty sweet combo ..
subaru engine with vanagon auto trans .
