It was a European five speed 094.
All it needs to fit is a shortened front engine mount and some parts or all
parts of a five speed linkage (yet to be determined.
I am currently using my four speed - press down and pull back for first. The
vanagon still needs to start out in first due to the 486 R&P. The syncro had
a 586 R&P and did not need first to start out and used it for low speed
pulling - "granny gear".

It simply bolted up, the cv joints fit perfectly, my shifter linkage,
accessories, and starter (I did have to open the starter hole slightly, the
european starter might be a little smaller).
