Conversion from Manual to Auto of VW T3 Transporter (Kombi) Liquid Cooled
Hello. I am new t this site (joined tonight) and new to VW (bought my first four weeks ago). Am in Adelaide, SA. I have had a look through the forum
but not yet found the info I seek... which is to get a better idea of what is involved in converting my 1989 VW T3 Transporter (Kombi) Liquid Cooled
from manual to auto transmission. I see a transmission is for sale on eBay in Victoria ($1200) but have no idea if that is expensive or not (nor are
clear on condition - description just says "good") or on what other parts i would need to replace besides the transmission... although gear change
is an obvious one :-) Really.. any information you felt like sharing would help. Thank-you. Regards, Stephe (Stephen) |

Try and find a van that is being dismantled so you can get all the bits you need.
I would only pay $1200 for an auto transmission that had a written guarantee from a reputable business.
Ebay = Buyer beware as purchasing via auction you do not have a leg to stand on if the transmission is only 'good' for use as a boat anchor!
Cheers Dave

Thanks Dave. Yes the more I look into this the more a complete auto van seems to be the best solution. Have ordered a manual to see if I can work out
just "what exactly" the differences are between manual and auto in terms of parts etc. Appreciate you taking the time to reply. |
