[QUOTE="ib-bus, post: 485877, member: 3500"] Bought a '70 bus with a 1776 engine , the previous owner said it had a freeway flyer transmission but now I am not too sure it really is. I had the engine looked over and now is running very good , feels strong and sounds great. I have never driven a bus or any other VW with a freeway flyer transmission but this bus for sure is not flying down the freeway , well at least not quick enough. First 3 gears are good and strong but once I get to 4th it bogs down. My questions are: How do I know if I really have a freeway flyer ? Is there a way to find out without taking it down ? Do you do anything different when shifting ? [/QUOTE]
