As a VW/Porsche professional, there are always a few things you think about. You know, common things you haven't done yet. Go ahead and laugh: I'm changing my first swing-axle transmission today. 1965 T-34. First, here are my thoughts on the swing-axle design: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Here's where I need help: The left and right sides had different spacers between the wheel bearing and the hub. Which one is correct? They are very different thicknesses, and one has an inside chamfer while the other has an outside. I took them both off before I noticed the difference, so I can't tell you which was where. What I can tell you it the LR brakes were totally covered in gear oil. Help, please.

Hmmmm... The T34 is an oddball.
The 5 bolt drums were usually on swing axles, I can see by the spring plates that this is an IRS suspension/axle set-up...or am I wrong? If the drum is centered on the shoes correctly you can just make a spacer for the end of the stub. I have a spacer on mine because I have a adapted assembly on my bug. On the VW part numbers: A VW Type may not have the part numbers for the specific type of car. So if a regular type one number (111,113) fits a type 2 bus they don't change the part number. But then if a type 3 part is used on a later beetle improvement then the type1 beetle will have a part with a type 3 part number on it. Example a VW T1 superbeetle front wheel cylinder is part #361-611-067-A, the number starts with 3 because it was originally a T3 rear wheel cylinder. |

I can turn some spacers to make it work, I just can't believe it came in like this. I have to assume the T3 hub was fatter. |
