thicker ribs makes the case better,,makes a stronger , less likely to flex,,,convertible to nose cone shift makes it great for parts,,not as beefy gears as the "mid shift". Might be 4.57,,,4.86 or 4.83,,,might have super diff,,but rare. Get it cheap as you can and save it. jmo

I am running one that i had converted for nose shift. Running it behind a v-8 chevy. so far so good

Here's a chart of the gear ratios depending on transmission code. I think all Vanagon transmissions are listed.
