They were notorious for leaking from the pan gasket. The oil pump is no biggy, just put a manual pump in. The car can be converted to 4 speed pretty easily. Another idea is that a lot of the parts inside the autostick is the same as a 4 speed. Inside, it is basically a 4 speed minus 1st gear. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
