I bought an 82 Vanagon with a Subaru 2.5 engine and 5 speed transmission this past summer. It came with an RS Fab transmission linkage kit. My intent is to replace it with a 5 Speed Bus kit but David C is having some supply issues. In the meantime I think I could improve the RS Fab install so that I could at least drive it around the driveway. I am thinking the previous owner did not install it as well as it could have been done. Does anyone still have the RS Fab installation instructions?

Based on the lack of replies my guess is that no one here has the instructions you are looking for. Good luck in your adventure.

Vanagon 5 speed or Subaru 5 speed? The 82 had a 3 piece shift shaft that later models did away with. It might be fighting you if you have the 82 shift rods and shift box.

I have the instructions, but they are in a pdf. I can't figure out how to host on pdf on this site.

Send me a pmail with your email and I will send them to you.

Also search the Gallery with "RS Fab" and you can see the pictures I have of the kit getting installed.
