Hi, I have a 64 beetle with the original 6v gearbox in it. It has a 1300 12v engine at the moment, but have a 1500 engine and gearbox to put in it. What do I need to change on the 1500 gearbox to fit it in. Any advice would be much appreciated.

IF IT ISN'T DRIPPIN, IT ISN'T DRIVEN

ragged Just ask if you need HELP!

No need to change anything if the gearbox is out of a 1500 type 1.
The 1300 and 1500 12 volt gearboxes have longer axles than the original '64 gearbox, which widens your track.
Not a real problem though.
