It will fit if you drill 4 mounting holes in the bell housing. Many of 
the type 3 bell housings have these holes already there, but 
plugged at the factory with aluminum plugs. You will have to drill a 
new dimple on the top of the gear selector shaft, or just reuse the 
shaft from your old beetle tranny. The gear ratios are also going to 
be slightly different.

Late bugs have a different front mounting, so you might have to 
reuse that housing, too.
