Re: [T3] Tranny Synchro Dilemma


I have a VW shop manual -- like the parts books...   except it is for
the local manufacture of shop tools for volkswagens.... It has MANY
tools that can be made for use in working on VWs ( and yes there are
some type 3 tools listed in it)  in this book it shows actual full page
size ( most are double page fold outs ) blueprints with material
list....  one of the tools it shows is for swing axle VWs it is a
bracket that mount to the transmission frame horn and in the middle of
the bracket is a large caster wheel .... in effect the car with out the
tranny is supported by three wheels, and is able to be moved around
freely.......
