Hi, Not entirely T3 but definitely VW I'm considering buying a B*g '68 semiautomatic with 150Kmi can the Tranny be replaced with a manual , what does this involve ? Is the engine the same as manual ? Bear with me Herman
Why do this? There is nothing inherantly wrong with the autostick setup. It just takes a bit of maintenance to keep if working like any other advanced mechanical system. I used to have one and I thought it was pretty smooth!
Of course, you can replace it with a manual, but aren't there plenty of manual Bugs out there available to buy?
The engine is the same, with a torque drive plate instead of flywheel; special oil pump that has a ATF pump piggy-backed on it; at least one additional vacuum connection on the intake manifold; different distributor number.
You need to replace the shifter; foot pedal cluster; etc. Nathan ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much? Digest! mailto:type3-d-request@vwtype3.org Subj=subscribe
