Description

1970 karmann ghia with rare automatic stickshift. No clutch pedal !
I have owned several vw's but this is the first autostick. Skeptical, you bet ! After
doing some research and thinking about converting it to a manual I finally drove it!
I was more than surprised. It has three forward gears and reverse. It does have a clutch but it is operated by a vacuum servo controlled by the shift lever. It is amazing. You simply let off the gas & shift. Since it also has a torque converter , when you stop at a signal it can stay in gear without stalling. It works great. I see why there are groups of dedicated autostick owners out there. Check the site (vwar.org)for tons of information & parts sources.
