I have sales brochure from VW that I picked up last time I went to
Mexico. It has a poor picture of the engine compartment, but I think the
engine is lays over like a diesel. It is a 1800cc engine. There is a
partial picture of the tranny. It apperars to be a 091 (big four rib
tranny) with a bellhousing that looks like the housing on a diesel
Vanagon tranny. I can't see if it is a side shift or not. I can't
imagine VW changing the shifter to the side for the mexican busses since
they didn't offer them as Syncros.
