Wanted: T3 caravelle gearbox
Hi,
I'm looking for a good working 5spd gearbox for my 1991 T3. The one thats in the car is a "AGT" but it's near the end of it's life (bearings).
The car itself has 390.000km (still the first engine!), so buying a rebuild box is not worth it - the cheapest offer I got was 2700$.
Can anybody help me?
I'm right now in N.S.W close to Sydney (actually in the Blue Mountains)
Please let me know - PN or E-Mail.
Phoned several VW mechanics in the area but nobody has a used box...
Cheers,
Marcel |

Thanks a lot guys!
Yeah i figured out that it's really hard to find things for a T3 in Australia. As i said, i called many many mechanics, but as i was told, for them
it's even hard to find one that's worth rebuilding...
I am originally from Germany and bought the car for a 5month trip through the country. (hope that won't be a negative aspect)
It's really easy to find a box in Germany (of course), there are always about 40 boxes available on ebay, but here...
By the way, I'm driving a 1997 mexican beetle with the 1600injection engine, the latest series of type1. If anyone has questions about it just
contact me.  But i don"t think that there's are 1600is in Australia?!
Cheers,
Marcel |

No - the Mexi beetles didnt pass our Australian Design Rules (ADR's), so they are not here
Enjoy your travels and keep us posted

i brought a box in from the uk for that same reason. came in the crate with a friends car. hate to think what it would have cost on its own to post
otherwise
Have you tried the usual mobs who have an interest in T3's.
I am looking to change my box too as it doesn't have a third gear at the minute. where abouts in the blueys are you.
