Michael, You can use the nifty gear ratio/speed calculator at David Marshall's page- www.volkswagen.org Off the top of my head your Van has a .85 4th. There was a European only .82 as well. Also, there are several after- market 4ths available as well- .80, .77, and .74 that I am aware of. The biggest drawback of the 5-speeds is that 1st gear is a very low 4.11 ratio. Its nice if you have to pull a tree stump but is almost useless around town. -Todd Hill VolksWerks Transaxles Olympia, WA
