If your transmission mounts have separated or you are clearancing your 6 volt transmission for a 12 volt flywheel then we’ve got a video for you. Our tech covers removing a swing axle transmission and then shows you how to grind down the bell housing of the transmission so it will accept a 1300 or larger engine with a 12 volt flywheel.

Disclaimer: VW transmission cases are made of magnesium, the same metal used in those survival fire starting kits that comes with a flint stone. Magnesium fires are nearly impossible to extinguish so use extreme caution when grinding it. Any errant sparks could ignite the magnesium so make sure to stay away from any steel material when grinding.
