There could very well have been a servo in addition to the torque
converter. I did a lot of engine work, but NEVER worked on VW
transmissions (I had a friend that did, and handed all of those jobs to
him)

There was one fellow who had a bug with auto-shit-stick AND air
conditioning. That was one seriously overworked engine. Switching the
oil cooler to a type 3 and using the >1971 fan housing helped a little,
but not enough.
