Autostick Conversion Kit, Bug '71-'72

The Volkswagen Autostick transmission, introduced to the Volkswagen model line in 1968, was a good idea and a good product while it was in good operating condition. Unfortunately, it was a power-robbing trans, as all automatic transmissions are, that dramatically affected the already low horsepower air-cooled VW engine in an adverse way. Another negative of the Autostick was maintenance. As the miles racked up and the trans became worn, the cost of upkeep became unacceptable for most. This, coupled with the fact that few mechanics fully understand the unit, makes it difficult to get good maintenance performed. 

Autostick conversions to manual transmissions are not a new thing. But, before now, nobody had assembled an all-inclusive kit in one convenient package. So. Cal. Imports has taken all of the guesswork and headaches of combining all the correct parts so that the conversion will go smoothly. If you are looking for a way out of your Autostick woes, look to So.
