It'll seem a little wired at first, mine did. The engine/transaxle is metric the rest well there maybe exceptions, not so much...
The VW engine actually grows on you. It just plain starts and runs. Not much to go wrong. I do however believe in running a thermostat in a Snow Trac. Check, but most likely it may be gone.. Set your valves every time you change the oil, no filter, 50 hrs..
The Trans has a small car feel, and shifts sweet, when you master it. There is a lot of inertia in the drive line, those cast iron sheives are heavy and in 4th gear are spinning at crankshaft speed. So you will have time to shift before it comes to a stop.
Get an owners manual or copy and fallow the directions for variator adjustment. Measure the belt back for with and replace when it is time. Keep the tension in spec, and pay attention to not contaminate the belt sheives with grease or oil. It will affect performance..
Driving technique is to lift the throttle slightly as you turn, the bring the power back as the machine reacts.... This at slow speeds and tight quarters..
Top speed if stock gears is Tucker like, about 12 or so mph. But I will climb like a slow motion rocket I bet..
Then this thing, pardon my spelling, called "farfignugen" sets in, and you get it!
