I have looked at this link and don't find any reference to transmission or transaxle numbers. I have a transmission that is stamped 1086828 and am trying to determine its year of manufacture. |

Yes (after all, bug trans is actually a trans-axle). |

I hate to be that guy, but well, I am usually that guy. For a few years I have been working on a 1972 beetle. Didn’t run when I got it, but was a good starter project. Anyway, I have reached the transaxle. The guy I bought it from had a second transaxle. He said he had stripped some parts out of a 69. Anyway, trying to figure out if the one I pulled out of the car is original ( or possibly original based on build date), and what the second transaxle even is. I trued using the charts, but didn’t see any matches for sure. I figure it is better to get good guidance than just guess.🤷🏻♂️ Any help in identifying these is greatly appreciated!!!
Part# 113 301 103 J
Serial# AH4372310
And
Part# 113 301 103 D
Serial# 9903471

| The one starting with 99 would be from the late ‘60’s timeframe. The other one later but no clue when. I have a pair of ‘67 trannys starting with 986 and 987 , both from cars built in December ‘66. 99xxxxx would only be 100000 or so later. At the rate these were built I can’t believe yours came long after them. |

Thanks!!
Now another question has come up. Got my transaxle mostly cleaned up. 4lbs or tar came off of it. The nose cone doesn’t appear to be a 1972 original. At least it doesn’t look like the pictures I have found. It has 2 electrical sensors/switches on it. One is the reverse light trigger. I have no clue what the other one is. It is on the side of the nose cone opposite from the light switch. It has a single spade electrical connection. Nothing was plugged in to it when I removed the transaxle.
Any ideas?

| The likely candidates are reverse and neutral safety (for starting). |

Thats what I thought. It even seems to momentarily trigger in neutral. The 2 problems I have is that all the neutral safety switches I see have 3 terminals, not one, and I can’t find any reference to a manual transmission ever having a neutral safety switch. Is it possible that this is a nose cone for an auto stick? |

The 3 terminal switches are from an Autostick trans. Your nose cone is for a manual trans. The nose cone for an autostick is different and does not work on a 4 speed.

| Number 8721009 , would that be 1966 1300 beetle box? And if it is would it ‘fit’ into 56 oval beetle with standard 1600cc case? Thanks in advance |

Good Morning Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has a transaxle ID Chart. I have been referred to two placed (outside of here) and they both have resulted in two different answers.
The closest "guess" was by my local VW transaxle builder. He thinks it is late 60's / early 70's.
It is an IRS style Transaxle.
Here is a link to my listing.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/347946217640729
I am selling it because I no longer have the project.
My Numbers are : AO927118
There is no T/O bearing sleeve mounted on the input shaft cover.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dennis D |
