WTB, In need of a 003 model 2ltr automatic transmission, mine rebuilt or...
TomWantzAKombi - December 31st, 2013 at 12:55 PM

The auto trans is from my 2ltr 1975 bay camper has a busted oil pump.

so i am looking for someone to rebuild it or a rebuilt box or a second hand one or a conversion (maybe a subaru auto) ?

These have vacuum throttle and electric kickdown, and selector lever and cable is on passenger side when trans is installed.

Cheers
Bill

FYI..that Auto is from an 1800cc Kombi, not a 2 L. The 2L Auto doesn't have the modulator and is a different box....more heavy duty. You can swap them around, both engines and boxes with little drama.

The trans pictured is a 1600 Type 3 EFI Auto trans. 003's were never a "2L" auto. It is likely that your car was originally a 1700 or 1800 auto. The vent tube pictured is the same as Type 1 breather valve.

The Trans picture is not a 1600 Type 3 EFI Auto trans, the Trans pictured has the cast steel bellhousing/diff housing which makes it from a Type2. The Type 3 has the alloy bellhousing/diff housing, they are both have "003" automatic transmission sections. There are valving and other differences though.

The first Kombi auto I used for my Drag Car came from a 2lt Kombi with a 003 auto and the cast iron diff housing. The one I am now using has an 010 auto and also a cast iron diff housing. The 2 versions are quite different and I found nothing interchangeable between them.So you will need a 003 to replace yours. Aaron will know if the Type 3 and Kombi 003's are the same.

Take a closer look at the Trans :crazy:

Interesting...my pile of Type 3 Auto cores all have cast iron diff housings, but they are Type 3 diff housings though! :)

Agree about the valving differences and other small differences..

Ok I'm talking about the housing not the diff carrier which is a bolt in piece into the housing on the type 3 autos.

Type 2 003
Diff mounts directly into the cast steel housing.

Type 3/411/412 003

Note the mounts on the side of the bellhousing(for 411/412). Diff mounts in steel carrier which bolts into alloy housing.

You're on to it Brent-well displayed.I had forgotten about the mounts on the side of the Type3 housings.They are what I used to mount my fabricated rear engine mounts when I put the Type3 auto into my Oval.I got the idea from Neil in WA when he was using these auto's matched to Subaru engines.
