I am trying to gather as much info on RGB trannies as I can. I already hit up the Baja guys, and the Splitty Bus guys. Now it is your turn. I heard a rumor that the older military Things and the early Euro Things had RGB trannies. Is this true? Does anyone have one?

Yep, on swingaxle-equipped Things. Ask Bucko about his.

are those rgb's comparable to "big nut" or "small nut" bus rgb's? they seem to have a different casting where they attach to the spring plate. interesting.

During their production, 181s actually used both ratios: http://www.geocities.com/vwtyp181/181_3-2.htm
