63Ragtop Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Great progress man, putting me to shame! Axles got longer about 67, I put a 1500 gearbox in my car years back and swapped the axles so everything would fit back together the same. found this on the samba I think there may even be another size for different models/years etc. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

63Ragtop Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Shit, just remembered a sharn, was at a party about 10 years ago, had the red ragtop there. got talking to this cunt, talked about car/vw's with this guy, said how various engine's are stuck in the back of bugs, subys etc, then I said rotas, and he's starts telling me nah nah mate, not rotas, these gearboxs can't spin fast enough for rotas, I said well I've seen it done and I don't think the gearbox cares how fast its going?( to a point)Â wouldn't believe anything I said so I agreed to disagree with that dickhead. is it finished yet?

mjrstar Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Gear train itself might be fine but 100% the factory Synchro's and clutch release will not love high RPM shifting.  probably fine if you are not expecting lightning quick gear changes...
