>BTW: Who sells these "short shift" kits and can they be installed on 84's?

Gene Berg                    item # GB 6790, Vanagon short shift kit,
1725 North Lime              $20. shortens that 2nd-3rd gear rowing
Orange, CA 92665             distance. well worth the money. FOLLOW THE
(714) 998-7500               INSTRUCTIONS!

and they'll fit any 4-speed (maybe even Syncros?) from 1980 to 1991. i've
installed the kit on a 1980 bus, 1986 bus, 1988 bus. didn't put one on the
91 bus cause it was an automatic. :) and "one of these days" i'm gonna put
it on the 87 camper ... i've got the kit, but just haven't gotten round to
putting it on. don't drive it enough to get motivated. ;)

but i'll warn you again: FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!! don't skip steps. if you
do, you'll spend a couple of weeks trying to get the shifting adjusted back
right! mark the position of those two bolts BEFORE you take the plate off!
