hi all,just managed to find all the parts i need to irs my 64 split van...just the gearbox to go.
could someone advise me on which is the best box to look out for??
ive got a 1641 with twin 40's.at the mo the van cruises up hill with no problems obviously due to reduction boxes.dont really wanna loose all the power up hills with irs.
what would be the ideal box for me??
ive seen a 1500 beetle irs box ah code for sale fairly cheap,would this do??
much regards..rich
you were right 1500 irs box it just comes out of a type three ( just steal claires she will never notice)
with your engine you will get a way with a 1303 box but i would go for a 1500/1600 type three box if i was you
sorry that was the wrong link,the ah box was from a 73.
so its a the type 3 box that im looking for then.
cheers gray,this is gettin more n more confusing by the minute.i may as well steal clares its not goin anywhere .do you know of any kicking around????
thanks to all
not sure really mate,be best if you tell me what you want.im not sure what they go for,dont wanna take the piss.saved a bit on the irs side of things so im ok for the money
well personally i would get a recon box for around 550 as that way you no its going to be good or if you cant stretch to that you at least want to drive it first as you dont want to do all the work to find out its crap
as far as which box the 1500 will be best the half way mark good top end but still pull you up hills
its a night mare getting your head round this stuff though init
id go for something like an AT or DC gearbox keep an eye on e-bay,thats were i bought mine from cost me £100
are you fitting the irs yourself
