<<<SNIP>>> shifting problems in the 091-1 gearboxes with the non-Moly
coated syncro rings and the petroleum based gear oil. <<<SNIP>>> I replace
the syncros, the crack prone 3rd/4th

Todd-

I have a 1982 Westy with 95 k on it. Shifts great, albeit slower shift
change than my Jetta, but...

Anyway, I am wondering if my Westy came equipped with one of these suspect
091-1 gearboxes, and if so, what can I do to prolong this tranny's life
(i.e. mostly highway driving, change fluid every week, mix bananas with the
gear oil, etc.)
