Images of my AAZ/ WB trany in the Vanagon as promised


Make-shift intercooler with integrated blower in back (unseen)




The first stumbling block..... driver's side motor mount.






Water bottle set up



This image above is one of the other troubles with using a tranny from a Waterboxer. The bracket for the nose of the transmission had to be cut, bent, welded and drilled so the bracket would support the tranny in it's new more forward postion (see original hole on the left.... about 4cm). That.... and changing the shift linkage are the only drawbacks to using these transmissions and why most people if they are buying one will go for one from an air-cooled van.
I already had one so I am going to bust through the trouble.
