What a beautiful video. Thanks a lot for sharing it mate. Well done

[@Paulman50]

Magic land all right. I wouldn't have known it was a gearbox if you hadn't told us.

[@VWJawbreaker]

Magic land lol Good video and I’m sure it’ll help someone out down the road for sure! Do you think it’ll be ready for Bug Jam?

[@MattLundquistVW]

I hope it will be there.

[@VWJawbreaker]

@@MattLundquistVW that would be awesome.

Hi

[@armenhazrian2978]

Nice Video! How heavy is the automatic transmission part of the transmission? I planning to do the two seals in between the automatic transmission and the differential while its still in the car. It's a 1982 Audi 5000T with the 087 transmission

[@MattLundquistVW]

The actual automatic unit is not that heavy, probably around 50 pounds would be my guess.

Thank You for posting this usefull information, would this automatic transmission assembly fit into a Super Beetle?

[@MattLundquistVW]

Thanks for the kind words Steve. Unfortunately this transmission is quite a bit bigger than a beetle transmission. You could make it fit and work but it's going to require lots of fad work. I have this in a dune buggy and had to cut the rear frame horns off and build new mounts because it's so wide it almost touched the trailing arms on a IRS. There was a gentleman on the samba that used one from a type 3 and documented how he did it if you truly interested in doing it. One note of caution if you get one from a type 3 make sure you get all the shifter and linkage with it. If I can find the link later I will place it up here.

I just had mine rebuilt at a shop and after installing it it won’t go into reverse. What would cause that? You can hear it shift when moving the shifter but won’t actually engage.

[@MattLundquistVW]

My guess would be something is in the valve body.

[@RussellCompton-fh3gr]

what manual you using for the specs

[@albertoroman3310]

This transmission is the same as the 010VW?
