Todd,
I have a few questions for you about transmissions.

- Do you have experience with Audi transmissions?  I am hoping that these
might be an alternative to a Vanagon transmission is the final drive can be
flipped over to make it run in "reverse".

- I installed a "limited slip" kit from Velocity sport tuning in my 7D
transmission on my Rabbit PU.  It takes about 100ft lb of torque to make
the wheels slip.  I have for no negative parking lot experiences and on ice
this kit make the truck un-stoppable.  Do you think this sort of kit can be
fitted on the front differential of a Vanagon Syncro?  It would be a lot
simpler than installing locker.

Thanks!
