Hi all, I am new to the vw thing and am considering building a custom dune buggy. Someone gave me a swing axle transmission, however I would like to build the new buggy with an IRS suspension. Is there anyway to convert the swing axle transmission in to a IRS style transmission?
Thanks for your help, Kris
In theory, yes. In practice....ugh!
See how they are built:
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.
