Yes, the VW bus with type 4 engine was available with auto transmission after about 1974. The early 003 transmission had a vacuum kick down whilst the later (post August 1975) 010 transmission had a mechanical kick down. I’ve got a 1976 bus with the latter 010 transmission. The same basic trans was fitted to VW Rabbit, VW Scirocco, VW Dasher, Audi 100 and Audi Fox.
Here’s a photo of mine when I pulled the engine for a rebuild  |

Sorry, I have no idea why these photos are displaying sideways. They’re not sideways on my iPad.

One out of three isn’t too bad I suppose (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

It looks like this could be the ideal solution IF the crown wheel and pinion can be flipped. Another (non 914) idea might be to carry out this conversion on a Karmann Ghia instead. At least the engine / box assembly is pointing the right way..... |
