The one in the trans housing, and the one in the back of the starter. Coming back from Parma last year, We had to push start John J. '66 Sqbk several times. When we go back to my house, We replaced the both the starter bushings, and he has not had a problem since then. Also check the ground strap at the front of the transmission. On a '66 6V, this could be a good possiblity. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
