Instead of a vw jig, i got an old transmission case, and cut it and made my own jig!!! And it was a success. Thanks to you sir i repaired my set aside gear box!!! If you like just send me your email and 4n no. I will send you pictures what i did. Once again thank you sir for your great great vedios on these bugs!!! Nobody repairs Volkswagen gearboxes in srilanka. Im very proud that i do it! Its all because of you sir....
10:30 I am taking a IRS AM transmission apart taking the VW original docs and your channel. Thanks! The transmission is in great shape, all in spec despite the backlash. I measured 0.4 mm backlash with the special tools. The VW formula would say a decrease of backlash plus 0.2 mm (=0.2 mm) on the driver side and an increase of the same at the pinion side. Does this backlash gets larger over 50 years? Would you put in back to spec or leave it as worn as is?
I would leave it alone unless it's making a lot of noise. 50 years of rubbing makes a comfortable fit. If you start changing things it has effects on other area's. Loose is better than to tight. Just don't get crazy on the Horsepower and aftermarket performance clutches.
enjoying this thread. question for you. what makes the transmission decide it doesn't like to stay in gear? i had driven thousands of miles on my 74's new transmission when one day for no particular reason, pop, out of gear. then i lost another. i have 1, 3 and reverse or at least i did when i stopped driving it 21 years ago.
+Scotty C Well like anything else things wear and over time those clearances stack up and one day it rears its ugly head. Almost sounds like the pinion bearing moved. When it jumps out of gear it shocks the rest of them and the problem spreads. I would be a fool to guess without having the guts in my hand.
yes sir. i see you are checking the adjustment thru the plug in side of the case. at the end of the video,you said too much info for a video at that point. i read the adjusting info on your web page and think i got it right. i really appreciate the time you took to make these videos! great work! thanks again!
Great sir! I'm Yasith from srilanka. I watched all your beetle transmission vedios and fixed my old swing axle gear box!! It was set aside in my garage, the reverse and the 4th gear was jumping. After watching your vedios i hope to repair it. Finally it was a great success!!! Thanku sir!!! I want to call you sir... pls give me you phone no.
Thanks for sticking it out, it's real life circumstance right there and you're pushing through. Thank you!

thanks ez for the real life mode. i did not know that the jig fixture& trani case made a differance in gear spacing.

Hey Ez what book was that you were using? I need to find the books for 002 091 and 113s.
did you ever show how to adjust the shift forks in the jig?
Did you watch the whole video????
yes sir. i see you are checking the adjustment thru the plug in side of the case. at the end of the video,you said too much info for a video at that point. i read the adjusting info on your web page and think i got it right. i really appreciate the time you took to make these videos! great work! thanks again!

VW Bentley Manual's have factory information and instructions
