its is a 6 rib . you need to see where the shifter is on the trans . i beleive its this one its the least disired of the sideshifts.

I found a 1983 vanagon, It is manual shift. I looked under it, an it looks like a 6 rib. Does anyone know for sure? Woody |

Engine still in it? Air or water cooled? Early 83 was air, late was water IIRC. Big difference in trannies. Both have the 6 rib "look". |

That 6 rib NOSE side shift is a 457 2 spyder diff, and the 3 rib is a 542 2 spyder. Both pictured are from 80- early 83. Your trans code is located on the bottom corner on the driver's side. They are such codes as ab, abd, dk, acw etc. Go to a british site WWW.partsemporium.co.uk. Then look under type 25 gearbox codes.(vanagon).Then get rid off it and get a front wheel drive motor and trans ran longways to a ford continental irs diff.Preferably a v6 sitting in the back of a 4 seater frame.The Pull a Parts are full of $75 nissan toyota etc transmissions.Oh yeah, Columbus said the world is round.For an expensive idea, go to woodsbuggy forum then under TRANSMISSIONS go to mystery machine.Dave out. |

I pulled a 6 rib sideshift from a 03/1983 vanagon and it was watercooled That is considered late. Model year starts the previous year in August. Your March vanagon was 7 months into the 83 model year. |
