Hi guys,

I have found this 5-speed "self assembley kit"  Wink



The pre owner said that it`s a gene berg 5-speed.But I am not so surely about this point.On the pic`s I saw from the berg one it looks a diffrent:

My case has a logo in the front nose with ITE as a cross (look first pic).And the between-flange looks a different.The screws go through...
Is mine a berg one no or? An real early prototype ?  Grin
To me there is only one other 5-speed known.It`s named true-shift.
Any infos about 5-speed conversions would be fantastic ! Not so many out there for VW boxes as I know.

Let the good times roll,Felix

hmmh,looks that not many are working with 5-speeds...Are there any declerations for that ? I think that the big advantage is to get a better close ratio with more potential to go faster on longer traveling.

Mine is for 99% no G.B. I have found out some more VW 5-speed suppliers:
r&n engine&trans, cb-performance
They mainly coppied the first prototypes of G.B.

Go on&on,Felix

Might be a Mikey 5 speed.  It was a copy of the prototype of the Berg 5, but had a few flaws.  Call Rancho and ask.

Who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped in the flag,
Who allows the protestor to burn the flag.
