Are you converting a gearbox to fit into an early Beetle ????

Cause theres a better way to do it

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

He is looking for the gearbox nose cone NOT the body nose cone

Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

Have you checked out the front gearbox mount first

There are usually 2 types

the wrap around and the later type

have a look be fore you scrounge around for a nose cone

What year model is the car ????

I realised you were talking about the gearbox nose cone

The best and easiest way to fix this is to get the aftermarket mount and weld it into position get a dummy empty 40hp tunnel gearbox to try it out and set up in correct position

probally easier than finding a split window 40hp tunnel gearbox nose cone

You have to pull the motor and gearbox anyway to fit the nose cone, so if you do the new welded mount then you can fit any later model gearbox to the car

I know a VW shop that can do this for you if you dont have access to welding gear and bits etc etc

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

You can buy the nose cone and hockey stick from CIP in the US all new. Doing it this way causes the front of the trans to sit a little too high, and therefore the rear tinware to sit below the engine bay seal by about an inch.
Buy the weld in mount from Wolfsburg West, and do it that way, or EMPI also sell a conversion piece you can use with the 40hp trans, but its solid, so a little noisy, but in my opinion better than everything being at an angle in there

Hey

I've been down this route with my 56 oval I didn't want to cut the cast original mount to make room for the later weld in type so I've gone with the bus nose cone. The only problem is it will make the rear of the engine hang a little lower as Andy in the above post quite rightly pointed out, however I'll wait to see how bad once i dummy assembly my engine into the oval. I did buy the empi solid mount but its a piece of crap and will cause heaps of noise through the tunnel also prematurely wear the internals of the gear box due to vibration if not cracking the nose cone later on. I only went this route so not to distroy a very original floor pan.

Hope this helps clear a few points up at the end of the day its your call

i first fitted a 40hp gearbox to a 58 beetle (not oval mind you) in about 1967,
for a guy
i just redrilled the mount holes on the flat gerbox front mount for the body angle to be resonably aligned.
some memory i have !!

hope this helps as is a 10 min job but i may have also packed in some rubber to seal off?
that part i may be confusing fitting a 40 hp box to 36 splitty

want any vw bits old but like me, Made in Germany!!!
