VW Type 25 Gearbox Codes

The Type 25 featured either 4 speed or 5 speed manual gearboxes, or a 3 speed automatic gearbox.

The 4 speed gearbox was very similar to that of the Baywindow bus with reverse being in the down towards the left and then a traditional 4 speed gearshift gate.

The 5 speed gearbox featured a dogleg first gear which meant 1^st gear was accessed by pushing the gearstick down towards the left (where reverse gear is in the 4 speed model).  2^nd gear was then where 1^st would normally be, 3^rd where 2^nd would normally be and 4^th where 3^rd would normally be.  Reverse was located above 1^st gear.
