cool... in that case my kombi was unofficially semi-automatic when my clutch pedal broke... it was kinda mostly engaged, but enough free play to
change gears without touching the clutch pedal...
got me home and back to the mechanics the next day

The early Sportos were 4 speed, later ones (early/mid 70's were a 3 speed.
Are the VW ones 3 or 4 speed?
