hello....

just wondering if it is possible to get the gear box linkages that run from the gear stick to the box, out of the tunnel in a 74 L bug..... (without cutting it open.... 😉 )

thanks

hey I could be off on my own but does the L bug have an access hole in the front like the ball joint / King Pin pans ??
I can recall ever seeing one.
I have a 73 pan beside the shed I will check tonight but I am thinking that it hasn't.

Hi

They have a huge hole behind the deformation element to get the shift rod out.
