Thought of an interesting topic---has anybody put a beefed up bus or t1 trans in the teener----

I loved the gear spacing on my old superbug--and first gear for my car,,well,,,sucks ass--and second is too tall for a good start off--

Would rather spend 650 bucks on a pro-streeter WITH a rhino case and super diff than thousands upgrading my 901--

Sand rail mid engine cable shifter should be able to be adapted rather easily and the trans install is a non-event...

What you think???? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

I'll tell you what I think if you PM me as to where that great avatar came from!

Swapping a type one trans would be pretty easy and has been already thought out by the mid engine sand buggy boys. A quick visit to

http://shoptalkforums.com/ or http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/

will answer all of your parts matching questions regarding brackets, shifter, etc. along with which starter will fit the type one trans and which flywheel will need to be used on your engine. I would suspect a 70 flywheel with a semi-automatic VW Bug starter will do the trick. Otherwise, just talk with the folks at RANCHO and describe what you want. Everything else is pretty much a bolt it.

Good luck with a cool idea!
