[Vwdiesel] syncro tranny

[Justin and Chelly Bennett]

Syncro Golf tranny is what I ment.  There is a gent up in B.C. that 
imports all sorts of syncros into Canada.  Would love to have a syncro 
Golf, but they are not importable at this time.  But a guy should be 
able to get a tranny across the border without to much hassel.  At one 
time I saw some pictures on the web where someone had installed a syncro 
in a non syncro Golf, but cannot find that sight anymore.  Maybe use a 
Transporter syncro tranny in a Dasher? One would have to flip the ring 
gear around.  HMMM.  Look out Monster Garage.
