I just pulled the engine on my '73 westy -- somehow the tranny main
shaft pulled out with it. Not all the way, of course, but it now comes
out about 6-8 inches from where it should be, and no longer connects to
anything inside. I'm assuming it's trashed, but just in case -- is there
a quick cure?
   Has anyone here tried putting a 091 tranny in the earlier buses? I've
read it's possible, but the shift linkage sure isn't the same -- do you
have to fabricate the mounts? Reason I'm asking is that the engine in
mine is a '81 2.0L, and I can get a 091 tranny from the same source I
got the engine.
   Please reply directly as I read the list from the archives. thanx.
