Torque conveter on the manual gearbox

It has been done before:

I guess it would be a great mod for slow going manual shift rock crawlers.

Can it be done to an AX15 with some mods?

Volkswagen used a crap load of those too, they were junk then and I do't see any advantage to them now?, if you want a slush box put a slush box in your Jeep.

The idea (playing with the thought) was 0-1mph performance, where manual sucks. And keeping the manual benifits for the rest.

Here in Europe - never met such VW gearbox combo..


Usa model?

I wouldn't say they used the extensively?, but I've seen MANY in late 60's early 70's type 1, 3 and 4's, they called them "Auto Stick's".
