so how do you get the shaft out? I have the snap ring off but can't get the shaft out. I know it unscrews, but with the tranny out everything turns. What should I keep from turning?

Edit:

Never mind! I got it out!

I have a 5-rib and didn't know I had the 091 bell housing on the 002 transaxle.

I looked at the input shaft on this 5-rib I bought and the input shaft had just over 3/8" longer smooth finish on the gland nut area. I never tried it on my Type-1 motor, but was told to cut the end off. I put a new gland nut on my shaft and it was loose further in and that forced me to replace it. I bought an 002 '69/'71 short input shaft.

When I pulled the bell housing off, I noticed that I had an 091 prefix part number cast inside the bell housing. Didn't know why. The guy when reminded about it said, Oh, I had the 5-rib and the 1800 motor and went to the 2000 motor and wanted the bell housing to match the bigger motor.

When I was doing my shaft swap, I noticed that my pinion bearing was able to be turned inside the main housing and then that required a complete tear down of the transaxle. All fixed and picked it up today.

For the starter though, I needed a starter and bought the kit with the TDI starter with the appropriate spacer for the 091 bell housing. Got the starter AND adapter for $156, what a deal...

All I know is that an early 002 with the short shaft will bolt right up to a Type-1 and a '74/'75 5-rib will need to have a shorter input shaft. Not sure about '72/'73 002 transaxles. I was just told to get a short shaft from a '69/'71 002. They all may be the same, short shaft, '69/'73, but not sure.

Good luck with your swapping.
