wtb 67 trans. long axle

hey all i want to buy a 67 long axle trans please hit me up via phone 916- two two three - 6865 preferably worked haha

Just so you know, a '68 will work too. That might make your search a little easier.

I have a 68 swing transaxel is that the same as a long axel????

This is for a bug right?

'67 and '68 were both swing axle years. They are called "long axles" because their axles are actually longer than the '66 and earlier cars. VW was trying to improve handling and stability by widening the footprint. When that wasn't quite the improvement they were looking for, they switched to IRS in '69. The other difference with the '67 and '68 transmissions is that the bellhousing is larger internally to make room for the larger 12-volt flywheel. '66 was the last year for the shorter axles and the 6-volt systems. '69 was the first year for IRS.

So yes, a '67 Beetle transmission is the same as a '68.

thanks man thats awesome how you know all that i have been trying to look that up on my phone and couldnt find it haha so breck! anything wrong with it? how much and so on please

His brain is coarse?

Who are you, Kyle?

You make my brain hurt.

Rob check your PM.

a 68 willl fit in a 57 right?

No... Not directly.

It will "fit" but like Mateo said, not directly. It's not the correct trans for the car but you could get it under there. A better question would be "why?"

i bought the things needed to make it fit properly so all i well again
