Beetle Transmission Identification?

ratherb-buggin

I looked in this: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/bugchassisdating.php
And can't find any info on this transmission. I was trying to figure out what year is is? The number serial # is: A0034690

Above that it looks like this:

46
113-301-103
D

Any ideas? I think it's a 68 bug or KG? If I measure the axles would someone know? I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

My reference sheets suggest it is a 3.88 R&P unit from a Karman Ghia. Installed after 8/70.

That's cool. What reference sheet did you use? I was getting different numbers from different spec sheets online.

Sorry. The reference sheets I have refer to the AlphaAlphaXXXXX style of trans identification numbers. The numbers only style reference I dont have.

I have 2 sheets, from different sources, that have similarities but dont share errors.

4.375 from a 1300 car, up to 08/70

A lot of this info is available from several sources online. It often conflicts so you may have to use the dartboard method to decide who to believe.

I'm having the same problem I have an old swing axle and cant seem to locate the number on the list. Mine is H0162661 any ideas? I'm trying to figure out the gear ratios..... btw it's a tunnel case. I'm not sure what it came out of either, the rear suspension was given to me with transaxle included.

Can anyone help me out? I picked up a transaxle that I was told came out of a 64 Type 1, but I'm not sure. Here's the info I have

The case has the following number cast into it: 113-301-103
The number stamped on the case is: 5254276

The nose cone has the following number cast into it: 113-301-211 E with the number 7 stamped above it. Does this mean that the case and the nose cone came from two different lots?

What year did this transaxle come from?
How can I tell if I have long or short axles?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adrian

The 113 #s are the part #s of the case and nosecone - ignore those.

5254276 looks like Oct., 1962 from the Beetle VIN listing, under the "Rear Axle" column

OK a lil help here...I have a 56 but after pulling the tranny I discovered NOT a split case....the # stamped on it is as follows 8654253?
And if I want to take it back to a split case what I should be aware of?
backing plates/ drums /outter bearings/em brakes????? or will it bolt back up without a problem? Thanks
Thomas

Noticed the references to the Alpha number. Mind if I ask where on the tranny that number is stamped. I felt lucky to find the 34/113 301 103/E numbers on the right side of the tranny case.
Thank you.

I am trying to figure out if my transmission is a 12V OG for a late 66 or a 67 transmission.
