[T2] need auto shift cable

[accessys at smart.net]

the bus is full auto not autostick (actually jetta tranny)

so drive like regular automatic.  and since the sensor for starting is in 
the front linkage can get underneath, pick a gear with a wrench and then 
start in gear and just go.    get some one to hand me my wheelchock before 
leaving, don't want her drifting back over me.  so far it has always 
broken in park position??   is a really lousy design

glad your 78 passed.
