Hi
I was wondering if anybody has ever seen or knows of the possibility of flipping the diff in the full auto gearbox from a type3 to make it into a mid mount gearbox?
I've never flipped a manual box myself but understand the basics, however I have never seen the insides of a VW auto.

for racing or road reistered purposes??

be a massive amount of sub frame work, let alone gear box

Apparently a lot of the sand rails do this - but they have the custom frame and are all manual??

Cant see anything that has done it with an auto

A few things on google came up

if you want an auto in that layout, you would surely be better off using a Subaru or Audi transmission. More modern and already pointing the right way.
