For short distance to get out of trouble two different sizes in the rear would not cause much of a problem. Too far too fast will. Different circumference tires will cause the spyder gears to turn and that will generate heat in the differential. Locking diff would really be a problem..Just my 2 cent...

well, I bought the whole thing! He had a 1971 sedan complete, plus 6 mag wheels, used front axle assembly, new front beam, new tie rod ends, new tie rod, two new frt discs, billet dash insert, tow bar, porsche transaxle, all 4 new fat fenders, car has dual exhaust, dual carb setup and he gave me the...

Let you know after Saturday. Buying a 1971 Vw (not a super) plus some extra front axles, 4 fat fenders and the porsche transaxle as a package.

thanks for the info. Great site. good info. I have a porsche 5 speed offered for sale to me. may buy it. gotta figure out what it is worth. Ideas?

Is there a problem mounting a 5 speed Porsche transaxle into a 1967 or 1971 VW chassis? What should I know about trying one BEFORE I start. Any thoughts on this subject? advice? Thank You in advance. Ish

Well, I had some time and took the punctured boot off. Very small hole in a larger bruised area. Found frame was modified slightly and a weld was there. The weld was not finished smooth.

I had a pair of good rubber mounts in the car. I had the clearance problem with them. I replaced them with the urthane mounts and have the same problem At quick glance the engine trans seems to sit level in the chassis. It has a solid metal block instead of a rubber front mount. Been taking time awa...

thanks for the reply...perhaps I can take some pic's tomorrow... what I am saying in a nutshell is..it appears when the axle is sitting level to the ground the trans is sitting too low in the frame. the boots are pinched between the axles and the frame. I am new to these chassis (and possible trans...

"the question that i cant prove is the size of the motor...." Seems I recall in the old days we hooked up a manometer to a cylinder and turned the engine over to get one cylinders capacity then multiplied by the number of cylinders. unless it was a cheater at the drag races the cylinders a...

advise please. I bought a 67 buggy, has a swing axle, solid front mount, new polyurthane rear mounts. axles do not have enough clearance to frame at neutral camber. Lost two axle boots in short time. I am not sure what trans it is (ie: bug, van?) .Trying to get time to read manuals on V W's and mod ...

Thanks for sharing your pictures and monologs on the Lone Pine trip. I really wanted to be there. I had a mandatory class on Saturday that weekend. I am looking forward to participating the next time around.
