It is finally alive! It took 3 transmissions to make one (the last  of 
which was bought with a custom bullet hole), but it works better than it  ever. 
Shifting is better. It downshifts with the stroke of the gas. I'm a  happy 
man. 

What do those of you running carbs do with the kickdown  plug on the side 
of the tranny? Just leave it uncovered? Mine downshifts fine.  And I don't 
have a kickdown switch by the throttle. I was just curious.  



Did you find the slug? ;-)
 
Since you have Weber carbs, you'll have to fabricate a bracket, and then  
add a momentary type of switch IF you really want to add a kickdown switch.  
On Solex carbed type 3s, VW had a special pivot bracket that mounted  the 
switch, and was activated at wide open throttle (spring loaded).
