Hello! I'm new to this forum, but my father loved it! He had an amazing 1988 Westfalia which he restored and absolutely loved! Here's my question, I'm terrible at driving a manual transmission. Is it possible to convert the Westfalia to an automatic? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the samba. Are you in the USA or UK?
It is possible to change it to auto. But I imagine they are a little hard to come by these days.
My daughter learned to drive a manual in Italy while stationed there in the USAF. If she can learn to drive a manual, you can. It just takes time behind the wheel and patience.
There was a guy that posted a query earlier today asking about an auto trans for his trike. That was the first one that I have ever seen for a type2.
Good Luck
