Riteo, here's the guts on the box. number on the side is AH 4347 984....above that is another number 3/ then onder that is H (I think)330110 then under that is the VW logo and what looks like a back to front J the box felt good last time I drove the car, didn't sli[p out or anything, sounded quiet but it has been sitting for a couple of years, if still interested let me know.

The AH indicates a 1600 IRS beetle trans.
probably with a 4.125 diff ratio and 0.889 or 0.883 4th gear.

Normally not swingaxle unless someone has used the IRS to make a swingaxle trans.
