Listees,

As I told you in a separate post, I'm putting in a 1.9l TD engine
in my diesel Westy. The new engine has a whopping 60% more torque
than the old, and I could use a lower final drive ratio. The
most economic way to do that seems to be to buy a good used
tranny from an '80-'82 aircooled Vanagon. This gives me a
20% lower final drive (4.5 instead of 5.5).

So does anyone have one for sale? Know which junkyards I should
check here in the north east?

Should somebody have a five speed ('83 diesel or synchro) I'd be
interested also. (I'll need at least part of the shift linkage
also to fit that)

Thanks,
Martin
