Use these adjustable spring plates to install a type one, beetle swing axle transmission in to your < 1955 Volkswagen bus. Built using heat treated + welded, high grade alloys, precision machined with engineered and tested geometry, exclusive to Wagenswest.

When switching from a “split case” (pre 1959) gear box, to a (post 1959) gear box, called a “tunnel case” transmission. You will need to adapt the later “tunnel case” nose cone mount to the early bus chassis, so you might want to get one of our Lollipop nose cone mounts.
