replacing transaxle mounts
hey guys!
can anyone tell me if the trans. mounts can be replaced on a swingaxle beetle without disconnecting axles and removing transmission?
i was thinkinking it may be possible to support it all on floor jack and slip the new mounts in?

Yes, the biggest part is taking the engine out....
just support the transaxle.....
drop the engine out...
replace the engine/gearbox mounts....
check the gearbox seal for leaks...
plus the front engine oil seal.....
put it all back together....
remember the axle boots are screwed at 90 degrees not at the top...
cheers
