See how they are built: http://www.ckoon.org/vw/tranny/tranny.html http://www.tunacan.net/t4/tech/trans.shtml http://www.longenterprises.com/ You would need a spare IRS tranny just for the needed parts. And the swing axle you have may be junk to begin with. Just taking one apart (let alone putting back together) requires special tools. The most crucial part is setting the mesh of the ring and pinion, which would need to be done after conversion. -- Speedy Jim http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/ |
