SOLD - QLD : Close Ratio SSP beetle gearbox with Quaife diff
Name : Dave Sidery
Location : Morningside, QLD, 4170, Australia, Planet Earth
Description :
- Single Side Plate beetle gearbox (aka L-bug box)
- Close ratio Albins gear set 3.55/2.0/1.40/1.0
- 4.125 crown wheel and pinion
- Quaife diff with T2 output splines
- T2 drive flanges (T2 CV's are MUCH stronger than T1 CV's)
- Built by 'dangerous' Dave Butler, and only done around 1000km (mix of track and street)
- Filled with Redline synthetic gear oil
Price : $4000
Contact method : PM, e-mail DaveSidery@hotmail.com or handheld talking device 0412 181 561
The blurb :
This is the gearbox I used to run in Jezebel, and is a brilliant box for circuit and tarmac rally stuff (now run a dedicated hillclimb box). It's
also the nicest shifting Beetle gearbox I've ever driven.
The Quaife diff is what's known as a Torque Biasing Diff... driving around normally you don't even know it's there... there's none of that
juddering effect you get from a friction type LSD. In the wet, low traction or when cornering hard it's brilliant - gives a lot more traction and
makes handling more predictable, with no real change to oversteer/understeer of the car. The T2 output splines make the whole thing pretty damn strong
compared to a normal Quaife, a ZF etc.
If you want to go racing or sprinting with a T1 powered IRS based car, this box would suit you perfectly.
If you've looked into building a box you'll also know it's a good price... the parts alone will set you back a lot more than what I'm asking.
I'd post pics, but really it looks like most any other gearbox. Oh, except it's painted blue...

To cover the "Why are you selling it ?" question that I've gotten a few times now... well basically it's to fund Jezzi's EFI conversion, which I
want to get finished sooner rather than later...

Noice box... I mean gearbox! This is a good price, the Diff is worth 1500+ alone...
Shame I have a swing axle otherwise this would be sweet

Yeah - so it seems Craig !!! It also doesn't quite fit an EVO hey...
You're right the ratios aren't ideal for drags, but they're spot on if you want a car for a mix of different events and still be nicely streetable.
Possibly even a scooby powered car.
And as to it being blue... well that's nothing a couple hours work and a can of spray enamel can't fix !!!

Hey,
I the price is fantastic and who cares that it is blue.
if i was not in the half way thru my build and bleeding money i would snap it up in a heart beat.
like everyone else just dont have the cash right now an out of respect wont offer what i can (dont want to look like a lowballer).
soooooooo want this box but such is life good luck with the sale.

If it was swing-axle I'd have it.

Yeah true Mick - but a year ago it was still in Jezzi !!!
Sold Ike/Betsy to a guy up in Redcliffe a few months back... with basically just a new fuel pump, an axle boot and a wash is re-rego'd and back on
the road... pretty good advertisement for VW engineering I reckon !!!

Not Beetle drums - they did the job on my car for almost 4 years.
It's REPRO. drums that I have a problem with, and GOOD orig. drums are scarce.  I'll be fitting 356 drums - yes, DRUMS.
If only that gearbox was swing-axle.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
