I bought my first 1967 vw bus. Still learning a lot. I just realized I have a dual port engine . How can I spot if I have a Freeway Flyer Transmission? |

Easy, it overheats anytime you go 60 MPH or higher.
Another way to tell is remove all the spark plugs, jack up the back of the bus and with the trans in 4th gear count how many turns of the engine are required to make the wheels complete 1 full turn. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here

Or install a tachometer for a fifteen minute drive. Have your passenger hold the gauge and write down where you hit 3,000 RPM in 1-4th gears, and 1,500 RPM in 2-4th gears. Check speedo is reading correctly with GPS.
Update with results.... _________________ In Stereo, Where Available! |
