I am not sure how a type IV manual can be fitted into a type III.
The tranny looks similar to the other VW manuals, but is slimmer.
I think the best way to operate a type IV engine in a type III (not that
I am advocating it) is to used the type IV auto tranny as it is
identical to the type III auto tranny, except for the gearing.
I converted my 72 Westy Bus to a 2 Liter fuel injected engine and A/T.
The driving is just so much more smooth with an A/T. Maybe I'm just
getting old.
