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).
