Transaxle Complete!!

Spring 2012: Thanks to Jim at DerTransaxle in Orange, CA my transaxle is nearly complete.  Since I wanted Jim to handle this part of the project, it was best to build it prior to trailering the car to Louisiana where most of the project will take place.  Especially since I have an extra rear end to use as a roller.




There's some nice custom touches here:

  • Super-Diff differential
  • Shortened type 3 axles to make room for custom off-set wheels (decided to keep the stabilizer bar mounting loops for Type 3 authenticity).
  • 4th gear from a VW Bus (taller gear for better cruising RPM/Freeway Flyer). 
  • Gloss black powder coated finish.
  • CSP billet disk brake conversion caliper brackets.
  • ECS Tuning alloy drain and fill plugs.
  • All stainless hardware, and seamless axle boots.
