Hey guys. Me again.
I have a question: In my quest to put an automatic tranny into my 65 bus (I'm a paraplegic and need an auto because of my handcontrols), I have received various bits of advice on whether my engine is powerful enough to run an automatic.
I have what I believe to be a 1600, although the back of the bus reads "1500". (Not 100% sure how to determine the size, either).
Anyway, the owner of a VW shop in Oceanside, Ca says it'll be fine...just a bit on the slow side. Others say I'll burn out the engine.
What do you guys think?
