OK all, I've spent the last year restoring a 73 2.0 with my son. For the last 2 months we have been trying to teach him to operate the clutch. I give! During this same time, I've been able to teach his younger brother and sister to drive the clutch. Guess some people can't figure it out. So I am considering updating to an automatic. Been researching the web and it appears the transaxle from the Audi 4000 is a good candidate. I would like to keep the standard 914 2.0 engine. Anybody have any experience in such a swap? What costs are involved other than the trans? Where do you go to get an adapter plate?
Little help and advice! Thanks! |

Do I recall VW had an "automatic" bug? If so, I wonder if something like that (perhaps flipped) could work? Not a bad idea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) It would have to be a tail shifter. IIRC it was still kind of a manual with a vacuum canister operated clutch deal. You'd need the trans, vacuum canister deal, shift lever (has a button under knob to operate canister), In looking closer at it I don't think you need the brake pedal. There is other stuff on the list I missed too. |
