By 69 they were > all IRS correct? There were swing axles sold in europe, but that cutaway drawing in the Bentley is odd in several ways. It's a swing axle (early), copyright '73 (late), shows the seal (late), shows the pinion bearing retaining bolts (early), and the coarse 3rd and 4th gears (early.) Maybe it's supposed to be a med-old european version.... The parts list also mentions a "sealing ring" on earlier transmissions, although it's not shown in the exploded view. It makes me wonder whether those transmissions had an O-ring inside the shift lever bore. If so, I never knew it was there. I'll have to look to see if I have an older nose cone here that I can look at. Do you recall anything like this, Russ? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
