Hs anyone ever converted from the 901 to an automatic ? If they are available and work ok I could see myself being shiftless in Seattle. This is a dicussion topic so don't flame me for being blasphemes. Sometimes I hate to shift it's that simple.

The VW 411 and 412 with type4 engines used 3- speed automatics designed by Borg Warner. The ring and pinion would need to be flipped to give 3 gears in the forward direction. A rear mount would require fabrication. I have not done this however rumors suggest it is possible. The same transmission was used on the VW type3 cars, much easier to find than 411 or 412's. The flex plate differs. The transmission is fairly heavy with a cast iron case, however rumors say it is reliable to 200HP.
