[Vwdiesel] It arrived!

Sat Jun 22 08:30:57 PDT 2013

same tranny I run with my 1.9na.  68-70 top speed, good for me.
runs just over 65 real nice.
Ralph, put 15" wheel on the van, it will make a WORLD of difference with that stock trans.

I did put in the 4 speed out of a gasser Vanagon in it with the faster
ratios, now top end is 68 was 58 mph I prefer 2 lane hwys anyway. Usually
not much to see via interstate in these parts other than farmers fields and
truck stops!
