Hey
This thread is for people who have a eurovan syncro within the usa to show off their vans!
-
I'd love to hear more about this.
I've done quite a bit of research on it myself. Would love to come up with a solution to use on USA VR6 vans.
-
Here's the closest thing to a bolt up stock syncro trans for the VR6 / T4 I think you'll find but this will still require some custom work to mount and possibly/probably the driveaxles:

I don't think that this works any better than an 02M setup out of a Mk4 -- or from an R32 if you want AWD -- same offset angle issue between the output shaft and the bell-housing bolt pattern.
4motion though -- I sure like the idea of that.
-
Unfortunately that looks like a one off solution.
There have been successful manual transmission swaps here in the USA with domestically available (we think based on random comments )transmissions.
If I can get ahold of an r32 transmission soon, I'll give it a test fit and see what needs to be done to make it work.

Also, some may find this of interest: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271743359160?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I think you are correct Itsamoto. An eng/trans adapter plate could be used to get the correct orientation plane for the prop shaft output.

Very cool. So is it "new" as in you just bought this, or "new" as in you just converted it?

I really like those Dokas. I wish we could register them here in the US. I still have a few more years to wait.....

Hey does anyone know where to order the underbelly rockguards ( unterfahrschutz ) for a t4 syncro? I called this company and they said they will reproduce their rockguard kit if they receive emails from 25 people who will buy. http://www.extrem-fahrzeugtechnik.de/fahrzeuge/vw-bus-t4/

6 speed gearboxes for VW, new 6 speed gearbox 02G for VW T4 Eurovan
It is the only way how to substantially reduce engine noise and fuel consumption – therefore the investment will pay off – partially or entirely.
The highest savings will be achieved by those owners of VW vehicles who are used to fast speed and will be able to use the 6th gear after the upgrade.
For example, at the speed of about 70 mph, the consumption is reduced by up to 1.5 - 2l fuel after engaging the 6th gear. Our part kit is an ideal solution for the owners of VW vehicles with series production engines 1.9 TDi, 1.8T, VR6 etc.
A big customer group for us are the owners of the vehicles VW Transporter T4. The ratio of the gears in the gearboxes of VW T4 is very short in the series production to enable the vehicle to carry a load of up to 1000 kg; however, many owners buy this vehicle because of its big interior and not to transport big loads.
When operated at the 5th speed, the engines VW T4 achieve more than 3000 rpm already at a speed of 70 mph.
We offer for VW T4:
1) 6 speed coversion of 02B, 02D (MQ 250 Nm) gearboxes The upgrade of the gearbox 02A, 02B, 02D and costs 1300,- USD
2) New! EuroTuning offers the only in the world! 6 speed gearbox 02G
02G is the gearbox (MQ 300 Nm) the VW T4 models are equipped with - with the 2.5 TDI 75kW, 111 kW engines.The gearbox 02G will have to be sent to the Czech Republic to upgrade it (this was agreed upon with TNT). After approx. 14 work days, we return the 6 speed version (with 2200,- USD being the price for the upgrade).
3) the final drive 6:1 for VW T4, for the gearbox 02G, (the parts will cost 3400,- USD )
4) 100% locking front differential for VW T4 syncro, (price 2250,- USD )
5) protection against water ingress for transmission and clutch ( set price 135,- USD)
Best regards, Jakub Kalivoda, EuroTuning, Czech Republic
