Hi there

Maybe you can help me. Is there a difference between the crankcase of 
a auto and manual type 3? I am looking for an engine to build up for 
my SQB and I am having trouble finding a case.

Hi Adriaan,

If you are reffering to the engige case, no there is no difference. 
Actually you can still buy a NEW case for it, from VW in Mexico.  They
are called the UNIVERSAL case (because the work in T-1, early T-2, and
T-3).  Just make sure to use the electronics from your original engine
(use the '69 parts from the '69 engine to go on the new engine).  There
are a few parts on the automatic engine needed for proper performance of
the auto tranny.

Good luck,

Big Al
