VW Bug Bus Transaxle Comparison

Love the repurposed 81mm Mortar Ammunition Can behind the fuel tank. (I got routed here researching 002 vs 005 vs 091)

That dam bob ring Redis every where. Dang

Are these as cores worth anything? Long story how I came into one. Been told it’s got racing gears but reverse is out. From reading it’s a “002”? The guy was involved in dune buggy racing.

Yes! The core is worth $150 cd. I delivered a trans axle personally to avoid expensive shipping charges. Now, it just so happened that I was going to be passing by AVR Import Specialties in Abbotsford British Columbia and they took the core in and handed my $150 cd cash on the spot. Maybe if you check around you may be able find a VW parts supplier closer to home. This the guys in Abbotsford BC. avrparts.com/ The next link is for California Import Parts in the USA. www.cip1.ca/ Check around on the internet and maybe you will find some air cooled V-Dub parts people closer to your home. Good luck! P.S. Reverse is the weakest gear in a VW transaxle. Always treat reverse with respect. ranchotransaxles.com/

@@AxelPowersGarage Thank you so much for that information. I will research if there is anyone in my general area. I’m somewhat near St.Louis.

What was the cost?

The new transaxle was around $2600.00.
