The dealers I worked at only stocked the one. There may have been a version for the MT, they didn't stock it, as there was no need to stock 2 when 1 would do.

Of course, you wouldn't want to with a automatic either. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT (It drove) '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
