Just as much money and more upkeep. Unless you are going for a non-stock engine keep the FI! Can't they be bought from RMMW or West Coast? >should I >be able to move the shift lever thing by hand? You can. Get a coupler and attach it to the shift rod and start rowing (shifting)! Remember, all the gears will be in the reverse position and direction (nose cone faces front, you are at flywheel end) than to what you're used to shifting (i.e. first gear is rotate clockwise and push in). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
