I believe there is a european 5 speed that was an option on vanagons
when in production for european market and there is also a different
south african 5 speed for the engines used in new vanagons over there.
Todd Hill of volkswerks transaxle (on the list) and weddler engineering
can get/have rebuilds of the european 5-speed that bolt right up to
standard (non-syncro) usa vanagons.
