69 beetle with type 3 auto trans
« on: October 16, 2010, 09:24:18 PM »
so I want to build myself a baja but my wife wants a clasic bug, she wants an autmatic I told her the closest thing in a bug is a semiauto so she said fine.Now I know the semi would have its issues but whatever makes her happy so I bought two 71 super beetles one standard one semi.The standard will become the baja 3x3 trailing arms worrior fnt beem tube chasi 091 trans and so on the other would be the wifes lower coustom bug.So today I heard of a car 68 bug with a type 3 automatic so I had to go look well I bought it too, this will be better for her and parts are still available and no shifting I did some reading about this trans and it sounds like it is dependable any input on this would be great.Hers will be first to start a pan off and as soon as I get it here I will post pic this is her project I hope and I will just be the help like welding grinding cutting money and so on

It looks like the trans swap install is a little sloppy but it seemed to work so the concept is sound now when the car gets redone I will have to remake all the mounting to make it look factory I enjoy a challange
