I just thought it might have been a quick cheap solution for the time being

I have a 4 speed box I might sell. Minus bell housing. that is a little awkward to get into 3rd changing down from 4th. but is perfectly useable once you get used to it.

I know exactly what it is. The carbs just need balanceing properly. It had me stumped the 1st time I came across this problem.

Strip it down and replace the gaskets if the K seal dosn't work. There should be no need for a replacement engine if everything else is ok.

I agree with James. Try Alan Schofields Or VW Heritage.
