DK is the common one for the 2 ltr Aircooled, ABD wont fit its for the later water cooled vans.

Do anyone know if the 2.0 & the 1.6 CT has the same coded gearbox? Found a complete at the junkyard the other day

Here's a techy tome from GoWesty about early T25/Vanagon gearbox Shifter Systems: Why the '80-'82 Vanagon System is Terrible! – GoWesty

Food for though  :|  

FWIW I still have Bezza's 1980 box . All new shift bushes and links plus a CSP short shift kit make a BIG difference  :ok
