your talking about the bendix to go on the flywheel, i only know about trucks where they are replaceable, i honestly dont know if you can replace them on dubs or not or if a replacement flywheel is needed

As I know it, all flywheels have this "ring gear", they are replaceable, put on by heat expanding the gear.

You should be able to buy a ring gear from most VW shops;

Don't get confused by the ring gear which is part of the ring and pinion in the differential.

Some VW flywheels don't have a replaceable ring gear. Instead the ring gear is a machines part of the flywheel. I used one of these to make my flywheel, just machined the ring gear part off and had it fitted and welded to my flywheel.
