A gearbox question...
If i have a 1600 kombi box and it has the guide thing over the spline in the centre does that make it an early box or late box? and what size clutch
do i need? 200mm?
Cheers again
Mick.

Ummm... isn't a Kombi 1600 box just a Kombi 1600 box.... as in no early or late ???
Pretty sure they used the same basic bits as a late beetle... pressure plate (200mm), clutch plate, throwout bearing etc.

Yeah I could be wrong too Mick.
The one I have came out of an Kombi 1600 that was IRS, and it had the little sleeve/guide over the input shaft... same as an IRS Beetle.
Figure we'll find out one way or other when dangerous get's on - he'll know for sure !!!

the sleeve just detemines which clutch kit u need
the trannys without sleeves need a pressure plate with the collar fitted and with a sleeve no collar
they ditched the collar and fitted sleeves starting in 71 with bugs and type3 so im guessing busses are the samewhich is proabbly where the early/late
thing comes from
altho most clutch kits now are universal and have the collar which can be removed if used in trannys with sleeves
Mr B will be able to yay or ney that

Joel is correct,
the guide tube normally indicates a "late" clutch.(even though 1971 was a long time ago).
type one engined normally have a 200mm diameter.
Luckily the Kennedy has a removable ring, as Joel said.
Eary trans use the ring and later ones it is removed easily.
