I'll also need to do some investigative work on the automatic as the shifting sometimes engages hard and other times I have to let off the gas to get it to up-shift (go to the next higher gear). For the fuel line, 5/16" or 8mm is the stuff to use. I've been hearing conflicting reports on the quality of the cloth-braided hose recently on the Bus list, so be aware of that. I've been using Gates "not for fuel injection use" 5/16 on FI with no problem, but I'm the paranoid sort who replaces hose yearly whether it needs it or not .. cheap insurance. As far as the shifting, check the vacuum modulator hose on the passenger side. Make sure it's there (!!!), connected and fits snugly. Maybe put hose clamps on the ends to ensure it stays put. You going to bring your new toy by the DDB shop so we can check it out? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
