Usually done to put the 5 speed 901 tailshift transmission into a VW bug. Far stronger solution than a Berg 5 speed conversion for a T1 transmission. Basically it's removal of the gear stack and intermediate plate, flipping the differential to the other side and reassembling.
IF it's going into a bug then there are a lot of other changes needed, most simple, aligning the nose cone with the bug shift rod a little complicated. There used to be a pretty good article on cal-look.com, another in the shoptalkforums.com. Search there for details. If I'm not mistaken there's a German company that sells a nice-looking kit, complete with a new shorter nose-cone, axle flanges, etc., that makes everything very simple. |
