QUOTE(HalfMoon @ May 30 2014, 11:50 AM)  Do I recall VW had an "automatic" bug? If so, I wonder if something like that (perhaps flipped) could work? VW called it the "automatic stick shift". Same technology as the Porsche sportomatic, and it works exactly the same. But it is not a full auto trans. It is just a 901 with a torque converter and a vacuum operated clutch. If you want one, get a sporto from a 911, and flip the ring and pinion. To use a factory 914 sportomatic tail housing you would have to find one, which is not easy. Just remember not to rest your hand on the gear lever when driving down the road. That's what disengages the clutch when you shift gears. Frankly, if you want an auto, the Audi trans is a better bet. |

type 3's and busses had fully autos. Don't know how it could be adapted though, I'm not sure you can flip the ring and pinion on those.

Yeah,
It can be tricky. Taught my twin daughters to drive a stick - on my VR-4. They both got it quickly, but one (with a heavy foot) almost put us off the road into tree tops in the GA mountains! YIKES. |
