Can anybody tell me what kind of Gear boxes will fit a 1800cc .I think the motor is a 1800 (Engine number AP008761) twin carb. for a 1973 kombi.
And what affect would it have on travelling speed, power etc if used 1600,1700, 2000 gearbox and would they even fit?.

Motor is 1800 with AP code and all can be made to fit with change of bellhousing and maybe input shaft.
1600 box has remained in many converted to Type 4 motors-later box is slightly better geared.
Lots of info here including ratios and changing trannies
