| what you will need to mount one will depend on what tranny you already have and what kind/type of rhino you have going in... please post more info. Ive never had nor do i know anyone with any personal experience with rhino trannies but i hae seen their name around a lot and they should be better then a stock tranny. Where did you get this new tranny, is it new, more info needed. |

the "rihno" tranny is a "76?-'79 bus tranny. i have a '79 (used but very tight). ill be replacing the stock (growling) one. just didnt know if it was as simple as a bus to bug kit? or if there were axle or offset issues. would the gearing change on stock tires not be condusive to daily driving? flywheel /starter issues? etc...
thanx |

No it isn't. A rhino trans is a Type 1 trans built with a Rhino case like this:

The trans from a 76 to 79 Bus is called an 091, or a six rib trans. |

The Bus gearbox is geared way too low for use with stock tires. Usually the offroad guys that use Bus 'boxes are also using taller tires. |

| bus boxes are damn hardy. offroaders love em, all the aircooled bays and vanagons are very much appreciated for their drivelines as they are stronger, better geared, have better cvs, and much much stronger reverse gears. although i guess you thing guys have real nice cvs to begin with |

things dont seem to be geared all that high...the old baywindow would cruise at 70...ide be happy with that! |

| Isn't the 091 also about 4-6 inches longer than the type 1 tranny? If you're building a rail you don't care, but if you've got to cut up the back seat of your Thing to fit it in, you might think twice... |

The reverse gear in a Bus 'box is exactly the same part as the one in a Bug. Neither is stronger. |
