Hi i have a 1600cc gearbox out of my 1973 kombi. Would that be better suited? all you'd need to change to make it a beetle one would be the cone. let me know what you think.


(btw I'm in Melbourne, where are you?)

cheers Jordan

Hey Mate I have a gearbox attached to a Lbug pan located up near Maleny if you are interested. I was told the box was good though I have not personally verified this.

all fine Arpspasm I'd rather people be trying out sell me (on purpose or not) it proves people are still willing to sell on the forum rather than charge stupid prices on Evil-bay

G'day mate, if you decide to go with a new box rather than second hand, we have them all in stock - just thought I'd mention them since some people may not know we stock gearboxes:

PS As per the second hand beetle gearboxes out of beetles, they will have a type I nosecone (as do the boxes we have in stock) so you need to factor in a type 2 nose cone and possibly hockey stick to fit into your splitty.
