Heavy-Duty Aluminum Transmission Case for VW Type 1

The Weddle 081-301-051-3 is a heavy-duty aluminum Rhino transmission case for VW Type 1 transaxles, meticulously reproduced by Weddle Industries utilizing original VW factory tooling. This robust main case is engineered with extra ribbing to enhance its stiffness, providing improved structural integrity for demanding applications. Constructed from aluminum, this case represents a significant upgrade from the original magnesium housings. This material choice not only offers superior strength and durability but also provides better corrosion resistance and an improved overall appearance. The package includes essential components such as sidecover studs, a clutch shaft bushing, dowels, and starter bushings, ensuring a comprehensive solution for your transmission rebuild or upgrade. This transmission case is designed for specific applications, fitting '61-'69 VW Type 1 and '61-'67 VW Type 2 models equipped with an early 4-bolt style pinion bearing. It can also be adapted for 1970 and later Type 1 transmissions, though this will require the purchase of additional components.
