Thats because the '80-83.5 transaxles are almost identical
between the Diesel Vanagons and the gasoline aircooled Vans
from a linkage standpoint.  In other words, the both shift from
the side of the nosecone.  The original post was about installing
one of these transaxles into a post-83.5 Wasserboxer with
the shift mechanism on the the transaxle maincase.  Somewhat
similar in appearance but much different from a mechanical
view.  There is a bigger difference between the 2nd generation
091s and the 091-1 transaxles than between the Diesel and
Air cooled Vanagons of the same design/vintage.
