GEARBOX REPLACEMENT
Here is a simple question: I have been asked to change a gearbox on a 75 beetle as it is dying. I have replaced gearboxes and engines heaps of times
but mainly on Kombies and buggies. Is it easier to drop the box and engine together as one item (possible) or do you have to remove the engine first
,then the box???Which is easier/faster as I'm short on time.Any feedback is welcome!!!!:jesus :vader

Motor first
Too much weight to fiddle fart around with getting it out of the shift rod connection and stuff. You have to wiggle and rock the motor to get it out
and it would be a hassle
You have to split them any way so do the motor first.
Any one else
Futue te ipsum!!!

OK. Thanx. They have been quoted $650 to get it done at a garage. I've offered to do it for free and am giving them a new box I had laying
around. Better to keep VW's on the road as cheap as possible!!! Thanx for your input.
