I found a side shift 091 vanagon tranny and I can see what needs changed to make it a rear shift. How hard is it to find a rear shift housing?

And what other parts are needed to swap it?

Which side shift?
Come from an air or water cooled Vanagon?

Umm I'm not sure if it was air or watercooled. It had the shift rod in the tailsection, not midway up the trans. According to the pics in the transmissions for dummies sticky. It is the one that can be converted.

Yeah that's the air cooled version.......80-83

You would need the nose cone, intermediate housing, shift rails and forks from a 091 IIRC.

I can see the being very sluggish to shift.
Does it have a standard H pattern?
