i just had an 85 1.6 turboDiesel engine installed in my 82 Westy along with an 85 4 speed (bought as an 83 5 speed) transmission.
i learned that the later Diesel gearbox mounts about an inch toward the passenger side, takes a late style shift linkage, and is engineered for different engine support bars and mounting brackets. the Turbo requires different drivers side support bar and bracket from the NA engines. The passenger's side bar can be used, but the turbo oil fill tube won't clear.
it was quite a project without any of the proper parts, but we fabricated a working set up from the early bars and brackets. and if you heard that a 5 speed for the Diesel vanagon has a different shift linkage than the 4 speed, not true. the difference is between early and late style shift linkage. all 82 Diesel tranys were early style; 83 5 speeds could be either.
any questions on the project, don't hesitate to ask.

thanks John, that is a help.
anyone out there ever put an extra battery in one of these?

John, i suspect the hot side of the refrideration unit has lost presure. the way the absoption system works that would explain no cooling on AC or DC. it would also explain why there is a very small cooling effect on a hot day with a wide temerature swing. the bottom line is i have a fridge that only works when it is off.

my three way fridge does not work on DC or AC, i'm not going to try it on propane. is a Domestic in this condition worth working on? or should i shop for a replacement? (original equipment in my 82 Westy)

i hate posting where i don't have spelling checks. (i'm dyslexic)
i really could use an aux battery or two in my Diesel Westy. if anyone can lead me to diagrams of how to do this, or have done it on a Diesel, i would greatly appreciate any help. for those who aren't familliar with the 81-83 Diesels, both battery compartments behind the front seats are empty. the main battery is in the engine compartment.
