The early vanagon diesels had a 3 rib main case.

is it a nose shift or side shift? I just got rid of a vanagon 3 rib side shift. It had a 091 part # stamped everywhere on it, so it really was a 6 rib (at least on the inside).

Most likely it is a 5.86 ring&pinion, easily broken, not worth converting to front shift.

I just got one of these 3 rib side shifts from a friend of mine. He swore it drove like a 6 rib, but the count of the teeth say different. 38-7 Not what I wanted. For Sale
