This came in a 002 bought from shop in Eugene oregon they did do the work
there story behind them having this goes. A guy traveling to Alaska driving bay full of stuff. Bought a Rebuilt trans in La calif. he could pull the I/5 Hills. They do a trade in deal owner gets a 002 stock gearing.
The time frame on this was the as when Ben jamie ? ( hastalaska) was doing vids 2x a week. Whe he hit La. calif he got a rebuilt trans 002. he was using like Rancho. I don't think rancho did maybe the gear unit, under the nose was real shitshow.. I doubt the owner could shift it very well. I weddle & Richmond, I have never seen a ring gear machined leaving rid in the bottom of that valley .

I only understood half of what you were writing.
But the R/P looks to be a 4,57 made in Brazil
The job could very well be one of Rancho´s rip off jobs. - In all fairness it could also be that the original customer didnt know how and what.
With a stock 4rth it is a nice cruising ratio, but it takes some umph in right rpm band to pull hills or mountains with in a heavy bus. A typical overcammed low compression bus engine will struggle to do that. _________________ https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=435993 |

Think back 2011/12 to 2017/18 ? he has a on going travel Thread on Baywindow forum. You posted on that a few times
in his story starts Lima Peru.. 87 ? Brazilian Bus. breaking down every day 5 yrs later. Los Angeles Calif. gets free major working on Bus, and trans rebuilt. then heads Alaska. A week later he can't shifting is problem and heads for Eugene oregon 250 + miles away.
Years later I have that trans. I remove bell housing and take pic

I am going to guess that English is not his native language hence the struggle. I think he has something interesting to say though, I am getting bits of it. _________________ We had the stone age, the bronze age, the industrial age and now we are in the age of mass deception and mind control for corporate profit.

The story you've been fed is a load of bullshit.
Ben from Hasta Alaska/Kombi Life had a 92 Brazilian Bus that he camperized. This Brazilian Bus used a TYPE 1 IRS transmission, not a Bus 002 trans. His original Brazilian trans held out fine until he got to Haines AK. That's where the pinion gear broke. He parked the bus for the winter then the following spring installed a newly rebuilt TYPE 1 trans.
If you are looking at a dodgy built 002 trans, it has nothing to do with Ben. _________________
