diesel 1982 1.9NA 1Y 4 speed manual trans westy

[steven tyson]

Im in the middle of my build now and Im looking for some good brains to pick on this old dog... how can I identify my transmission (no ID tag)? DZ19 012 does this mean anything? Found it stamped on the bottom of tran.

Also looking for a good source for injectors thats not 120 days out/used parts

PLEASE HELP
if anyone has any good advice on things to look out for or trick tips on this 1.9na 1y bring it on, Im in pretty deep

Does your 1Y have MEXICO under behind the exhaust manifold?

It sounds like you found the trans code. DZ is a stock '82 4-speed. Ratios are:

1st: 3.78
2nd: 2.06
3rd: 1.26
4th: 0.85
R+P: 5.86

IMO, that is about the least desirable Vanagon trans for anything other than the 1.6 non-turbo motor.

What Waldo said .....

And,

19 012 = January 19, 1982 build date (19/01/82)

Basically, the "guts" of any 1976 thru 83 Air-cool transmission will work inside the Diesel Transmission.

The injection pump bracket is cast iron and one piece on the 1.9.

I need real dircection from a friend I got my timing on the flywheel to cam locked in (without pistons hitting valves) I just can't seem to match the timing with the injection pump... this is a special project I took on and it requires some real expertise....it has tons of variations and is quite complicated.If anyone has the general specifications on how to properly install this pump in time please contact me ASAP thank you!

P.S. keep in mind this is a 1982 1.9D 1Y NA diesel

The way I know it, there is only one method for getting the timing right.

You have to undo the cam bolt, and then lock the cam, so the cam pulley can float freely during the process.

For every one turn of the cam there are two turns of the crank, so the important piece of the puzzle is the crank TDC (the cam will be at TDC if the locking tool is inserted in its end).

Remember you can't use the cam locking tool to hold the cam while you loosen the pulley (you will break the end of the cam where the locking tool is inserted).

Remember also while you are messing with the timing, things have to stay relatively static, because if the crank moves, the pistons will hit your valves. This is another reason to follow this method. You otherwise end up with the pistons bumping the valves while you struggle to get the belt on.

I usually loosen the cam bolt by sticking something through the cam sprocket holes. Usually the sprocket will then just come off, sometimes you need a puller or a rubber mallet (to tap lightly, if it doesn't pop loose use a puller).

Once you have the cam pulley loose, the rest is really easy. Lock the IP with a bolt through the locking hole, and then lock the cam using the cam locking tool (or a piece of metal of appropriate size). With cam and IP locked, you just line up the crank pulley at TDC, slip the belt on, and then tighten up the cam bolt.

The reason why you are having problems, is because the cam bolt is not loose. So you are trying to line up the cam and the crank pulleys, which is usually impossible (you will have problems getting the teeth in the right place and the crank pulley will move back and forth, making the whole process aggravating and difficult).

You can get a perfect time set up by following the above method (this method is also found in the Bentley manual and is the factory method for doing this).

Timing a 1Y is the same.

[steven tyson]

Is the injection pump bracket different on the 1.6 from the 1.9...I can't get the throw on the dial indicator tool.... I was told I'm looking to get the pump to .95

[?Waldo?]

The 1.6 and 1.9 pump brackets are different, but the difference does not affect how you set the timing or how much lift you can achieve within the adjustment slots of the pump. If you cannot get the specified plunger lift before the pump mounting bolts hit the ends of the adjustment slots, then your pump sprocket is not set on the correct tooth of the belt.

I believe that is .95mm, not .95 ". Do you have a metric or inch indicator?
