[Vwdiesel] OT: Looking for a couple Mexican parts-Anyone down there?

[Andrew .Libby]

ETKA says it is the same part as the diesel vanagon input shaft which is
somewhat available.  Also, the diesel vanagon input shaft is the same as
the gas vanagon (very readily available) input shaft just with 11mm cut off
the end of it.  According to ETKA, the input shaft in your stock '78
transaxle is the same as the gas vanagon one.  It seems there's no need to
get it from Mexico.  Just trim yours and be done.
