Freeway flyer Splitty gearbox 4 sale


Reconditioned big nut reduction box gearbox for a split Kombi, based on a '74 1300 Beetle gear box, it is fitted with a 3.88 ring and pinion from an "L" bug, stock 1st 2nd and 3rd gears, but fitted with a tall .82 Kombi 4th gear, to give about 3,200 rpm in top gear at 60 mph.

It was recoed by Shimo, and I did the reduction boxes, including all new bearings. has done 1,100 miles.

Ideal for someone wanting to keep their bus stock but keep up with the traffic.
Price is $900.00
Located in Nowra, still in my bus so it can be test driven.
Phone 0402 003965

Dave , Yes I would like to keep up with the traffic more easily so i am interested why are you selling it? did it live up to your expectations? Is it very different to standard? what is the drivability like? and does it suit a 1500?

I stock 1500 will struggle a bit up hills, idealy a 1600 twin port engine at least would make it nice to drive, I have a 2007cc with twin carbs behind it now, it drives very well.

Dave

That would really suit a 66 panel that I could get on the road real quick and drop a 1776 with twin webers to work out of and drive geelong melb every now and then

But I dont need it for at least a year and cant afford it now
If you still have it then I could be your man




Cheers Doc

not trying to upset anyone but couldnt you get a IRS fitted for that price and if you are wanting to keep it stock why would you then have to have a 1600tp to drive it.
Isnt that defeating the objective of keeping it stock???.
Straight axle would be cheaper and give you a higher final drive without the reduction boxes.

Straight axle would be cheaper but makes you bus drag its arse on the ground, so the front needs to be lowered to match.
This gearbox bolts straight in, looks stock, (heights, camber etc) and it still drives like a stock splitty, and makes all the right noises!!! like a stock splitty does, just has longer legs so it can cruise comfortably at 65-70 mph.
