A friend of mine is looking at a 79 convertible (barn find!) and was told by the owners that the transmission (or shifter?) is a "Schumacher." He asked me if I knew what it was, but I've never heard of such a thing.
Only thing I could think is that its either a semi-auto or perhaps a Porsche transmission.
Anyone know if its a nick-name for something? or an actual parts manufacturer named Schumacher?
I've never heard of such a critter. Semi-autos were discontinued wayyyyyy before '79.
Maybe the last driver drove it hard and speed shifted like he was a race driver?
Sound's famaliar ?? Cant Place it !
I watched the Lunar Landing with an Old Man we Called Mr. Shumacher ???
Maybe It will come to Me ?? Like 094 Dizzy ! << Pulled complete blank on that one !!

The only "Schumacher" I've ever heard of is for a battery charger.
....Maybe the '79 always needed a charge!?

Hiya nic,
Definitely not an AutoStick. While the AutoStick was not a VW developed system, there was no Schumacher connected with it either. As Der Bugmeister points out, the last of the AutoSticks dribbled out of Emden early in the 1976 production year. The liklihood of finding a 79 with an AutoStick is just about zero. But you never really know what POs are capable of doing.
In any event, I'm guessing that the PO doesn't really know what he's talking about. Maybe he had the tranny worked on at Schumacher VW in Florida?
