Thank you all for the info. That's quite a difference in teeth between the two. Is the manual flywheel about the same diameter with smaller teeth? I've got a auto starter coming on Monday. I'll count the teeth on the flywheel before I put it in. BG1

What is a "Manual Flywheel"????

Maybe you mean standard stick shift flywheel. Which come in 6 and 12 volt flavors, see previous post.

Auto stick (see type 1 post-1967 literature on this website). Used a self supporting starter which has both bushings inside the starter. This self supporting starter was 12 volt and geared as such.

There is a rather hard to find 6 volt self supporting starter that came out in the early 1960s, and was geared for such.

Worked perfectly on my 6 volt. Been a long time since I've done one and the tap idea is indeed a piece of cake. Thanks

I'm going to need to buy one next week. Is there 12V autostick starters.

Guessing 1967 and up.

Tried to lookup at auto parts websites but no luck.
Need to stop by the store soon.


CIP1 has them. They cost a lot more than a standard starter.

Today I undid the four engine bolts and the rear engine tin, then just slid the engine back an inch or two. Then I was able to hit out the bushing from the starter (front) side, then tap in a new bushing. Done on a '66 Bug.

As 64vdub said, no need to pull the engine. Just pull the starter and anything else in the way (Heater tubes).
If you have a 6 volt starter use a 1/2" x 13 TAP to screw into the bushing to remove it.
If you have a 12 volt starter use a 7/16 x 14 TAP.
If you have a tranny from a 6 volt car but have a 12volt starter it will have a conversion bushing and that takes a 7/16 x 14 TAP also.
Basically it's a piece of cake with no icing. Wink

This saved me so much frustration. 7/16" tap worked beautifully. 67 Beetle 12V

Attitude was just confusion. Would be like you saying you only wear manual underwear.

Hey guys, after installing the new bushing do you grease/lube the starter portion (the nub) that goes into the bushing or leave it dry? I've already installed my starter and it works fine. If grease is needed I don't mind pulling he start to do so, thanks!

I can't find any info on this elsewhere.

Supposed to soak the bushing in oil. The bronze it is made of is porous, so needs oil in those holes. If you did not do that, use a Q-tip to slather in some oil inside of it now.

Does not hurt to also grease the starter armature shaft bearing area.

Good to know, thanks! I'll pull it and add a little oil to both areas. Smile

I've been running an autostick starter in my bug for years. IDK why anyone messes with a bushing in a 12v system. Like 40 bucks. I think I ordered one for a 70ish 1600 autostick.

Also OK to put some grease on flywheel teeth and starter gear teeth.

I never put grease on the flywheel ring, centrifugal force should throw it away in a couple of seconds.

Greased only the internal of starter bushing.
