auto trans swap?

Would a auto-trans from a '69 Bug fit a '72 type 3, a squareback? Happy New All!


Welllll.........it should bolt together OK.

Personally, I think I'd rather take a good beating :-)

Grab a Bentley manual ('66 - '69) to see what is involved in the autostick.

There would have to be some really compelling reason to undertake a project like that.

You want a semi-automatic stick to replace a full automatic transmission? Interesting idea but why?

Like Jim said................I am sure you could get it to work given you have good skills in auto mechanics, but why? Gotta get a dual oil pump, change over the linkage, install the pneumatic stuff along with the electrical stuff so you can disengage the clutch.

BUT WHY??
