Carl, he probably put in a 1300 ccm Beetle box instead of the 1500 ccm Beetle/type 3 box. The difference is in the final drive, the 1300 box has a 4,375:1 ratio whie the 1500 box has a 4,125:1 ratio. The ratios in the transmission itself are mostly the same. 74 PerL 73 Variant L ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
