I have never seen an AT pan with it installed, although there are reports of them from the UK. I suspect that VW did not bother to make different versions of the pans for RHD. For 69 the shift lever and shift rod support plate are also a problem. In later cars you just bolt in the right assembly from a donor car. > that the rear subframe is O K, but am I wrong here? There may be a difference here in 69, but at worst you just bolt in an MT subframe, which is not too big a deal. > My apologies to all the fans of the auto, I know it's a great > transmission and very overbuilt, but I never learned how to drive an > automatic! ;-) - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
