Split case transmission parts
Ok so I need a split case gasket kit
and
Gearshift housing bushing
problem is absolutely nowhere has these parts that I can find. Is there someone out there who has sourced these parts and can point me in the right
direction. Can be anywhere world wide I don't care I just need these parts and will pay whatever to get them. Lots of places list them in there
catalogs but don't have them in stock, so I'm at a loss.
or alternately can someone tell me the specific thickness's of the gaskets in the gasket set or if it actually matters what thickness other than the
one that mount up the axle boot retainer to transmission.
cheers

yeah wolfsburg are out of stock. And no longer have a supplier for said parts.
I just stumbled across BFY about 5 minutes before your post and I am putting in an order as we speak. Been chasing these parts for months now :P See
if BFY can deliver on the goods unlike everyone else.
cheers for that..

BFY obsolete have to be the worst spare parts place I have ever dealt with in my life. there reproduction parts are of piss poor quality and the nose
cone gearshift bushings are of a wrong ID & OD so they don't even fit and the gearshift hockey stick does not even fit inside the bushing. WTF is
wrong with these company's!!!  
The gasket kit wasn't sent and I had to pay $40US for postage for snail mail!!!!!!  3 weeks postage what a crock

Gear shift bushings could just be made if you have measurements and id and od. as for gaskets if you can't get them get both surfaces dead flat and
use some sealer.

Some of the gaskets double as a shim though, otherwise I would have done this

USPS no longer do ground shipping... did they charge you $40 US to send gaskets??
thats ridiculous!
If you are still stuck, I can try a supplier near me, who has a lot of NOS german stuff still, and see what he has.
I send stuff back home to OZ all the time, and you can send a lot for $40!
I just sent a crank, bearings and engine gaskets for $100...

There is other postal company's they could use. I get sent from the US all the time and usually its about $20, and that is express so 3 day delivery
time, and the items weigh a lot more than this lot did, and larger too.
Ohh and they said fedex express postage would have been $262 when I asked why they couldn't send ti express ahahaha what a crock.
I sent quite a few angry e-mails to them, should be quite interesting to see their reply.
Have my gaskets and all parts now so happy days and time to build this car.
