Wew weekend! I hope I can do that that easy as you made it look brother slayd. Just closed the deal on the 1972 super bug. You no the one the is rusted all to heck. And your videos are very,very helpful. Thank you so much.

You got this bro!! Just take your time and be safe! Congrats on your 72!! Thanks for the kind comments!

Great video. Bought a baja that was sitting in mud for 10 years. Put in new engine and welded it back to a standard bug. Tried to drive and could only ride clutch to get in first gear then stall. I will pull the engine and transmission. (Depression set in for a few hours). You inspired me to continue with this project. Thanks!

Hi my name is Terry I watch your clips all the time and find them very in formative, Im rebuilding a 1973 SB as well and would like to know if you have replaced the wiring as I will have to in mine it some point, but can’t seem to find a wiring harness that’s made for that particular year. So I would like to know if you have any suggestions. Thanks

@amcargltd9784 Год назад

Love how easily you're able to get those 12 point hexs off your axle. I'm restoring my beetle and they're all stripped out and I've become frustrated and the project has come to a halt trying to get the axles off. Any tips? Bolt extraction is less than ideal.

@mikeroberts6618 Год назад

Have a 1969 bay window, drove to local wal-mart to get fresh tires. Drove and shifted great. Guys in tire shop broke something while trying to get it in reverse. Had to get it towed to shop. Is the tranny broke or could it be something that can be fixed. Shifter is totally loose. Thanks, love you videos.

Can you tell me what the electrical connection is for on the nose cone of the transmission on the driver side is for

@scottfarr5248 2 года назад

Great video as always. I also had a question about the neutral safety switch. If a person was to hook it back up, where does it connect to and what exactly does it do? Thanks!!!

@GarthThomson Год назад

I’m new to VWs so I’m presuming yours isn’t a manual gearbox as NS switches are usually found in automatic transmission cars so you can’t start them unless you select Neutral or Park. It is possible that a version of NS switch could be used to prevent you from starting your car without you depressing the clutch on a manual. It’s purpose is added safety ie you can’t inadvertently lurch fwd or backwards if you crank your engine when in gear…. Easily done when working on your car with it up on stands etc😳. In short, the electrical pathway from your ignition switch to the starter is interrupted (open) unless you select park, neutral or depress your clutch.✌️

@jjwdesign 2 года назад

Thanks for the video and advice. I'm about to pull my transaxle. I've got a few leaks coming from the front of the transaxle. Any advice or videos on resealing a leaky transaxle? I've heard that it can be done with a fairly inexpensive seal kit, but I'm in new territory here.

@SladesVWBeetle 2 года назад

Hello Jeff I hope that your day has gone well I’m sorry about the delay so I’m trying to catch up on comments. When you say the front, do you mean where the clutch assembly goes? There’s a front seal up there. And then of course I did a video on the seals on the sides of the transmission were the CV joints bolt up to.

@guillermogomezmarquez1704 3 года назад

Perfect. I need to drain the oil before go down the transmission for manipulation?

@SladesVWBeetle 3 года назад

If you do drain it first, follow my other video and make sure you do the fill plug first. To make sure it comes out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kLDOUcCR-Qw.html

@williewillteeztorres8502 2 года назад

Another excellent video. I am pulling my engine out soon i will also drop the tranny I might I have a slight problem. When I down shift from 3rd to 2nd i get a slight grind. A friend of mine said the synchro gear can possibly be wearing out. Any highly recommended tranny shops by you?

@SladesVWBeetle 2 года назад

Yes, that would definitely be a synchro that’s probably worn out. Quite common. I’m sure it has a lot of miles on the transmission. And thank you for the compliment on the video. I’ll have to find out, my buddy used someone up in Michigan. They are very good at what they do. Probably about $1000 for a total rebuild the plus shipping

@texan176 3 года назад

If only the 3 mounts need to be replaced, can it be done without removing the transmission from the car? The front mount seems like it can be done by sliding the transmission towards the back of the car. If you lift the bell housing up, can you slip the rear mounts out?

@SladesVWBeetle 3 года назад

You can just slide the trans towards the rear bumper end of the car. You’ll have to use a jack stand to support the nosecone end of the trans while changing that mount. Also..maybe a good time to replace the seal between the nose one and tunnel!

@aaronorens9173 3 года назад

Okay I have a stupid question perhaps but I’m having trouble finding the answer. What is the sensor on the side of the transmission that’s almost parallel with the fill plug? Thanks

@SladesVWBeetle 3 года назад

Theres never a stupid question! Thats the neutral safety switch! Most folks honestly don't connect them up! Thanks for being here!

Any tips on reinstalling that nose cone seal? The one I have looks too tight to fit. Or just give it a tap with the rubber mallet?

@wylah19168 3 года назад

And can you remember what size nuts are needed for the front and rear mounts? None came with my new ones.

@SladesVWBeetle 3 года назад

If you mean the seal that fits into the chassis on the nose cone? If that’s the one you mean, I would put a small amount of grease on it, and tap it with a hammer into the chassis.
