Hello

I am after a core 1300 swing axle box - it should have the longer clutch lever/arm than the earlier boxes, and possibly the guide tube for the throw out bearing.

This would be post 1970 beetle but obviously not the superbug etc - I am after it for a rebuild but the ratios and stronger 3rd and 4th are why I need the 1300 box.


Any help is appreciated.

i have i swing axle box out of a 66 beetle,dont no if it was a 1200 or 1300 as the car didnt have a motor when i bought it,it is complete wheel to wheel...$100....cheers....baldy

Thanks baldy - is there any chance you could check if the g'box has the guide tube for throwout bearing, and/or the longer clutch arm?

I appreciate your help.

doubt it would be a later model 1300 box...

but i will keep an eye out for you...

I have one if you can't find one anywhere else.

Thanks Brad - cheers for that. I won't make you hold it for long, I'll see if anything pops up but if not I'll give you a buzz.

Yeah, I guess plans sometimes change. :jesus

Alan........mine has a short clutch arm....cheers

Needs:

Long clutch arm,

Throw-out bearing: slide tube style,

Intermediate housing part number 311 301 173 (NOT, 113 301 173B)

AM code(AH ok if interm hsg p/n is correct)

I am thinking this is Aug '72 on 1300 twinport beetle.

Thanks for the info Dave!

Alan,
Have you managed to get a box yet??
I know a guy that may have one, near Taree nsw.

Cheers
Brendan

Thanks Brendan, I have to check out Brad's at custom offroad - if the intermediate housing is correct I'll grab it. If not, I shall get in touch with you....thanks for considering me!

Das, what about the box I got off you?
-Staggers.

From memory I don't think it had the guide tube for the throwout bearing??
