Subject:put a gas transmission into a diesel westy 1.6 non-turbo
From:dje Rome

Hi everybody,

I have a 1982 westy diesel and my tranny need a rebuilt.

I want to put a 4 speed gas tranny by changing bell housing and output
shaft. I want to know if it's driveable for a diesel Westfalia to run with a
gas tranny, because you know, the gas tranny is not geared the same as a
diesel tranny. Is the motor have enough power to run with lower gear?

thanks for your help

Jerome
