Re: VW Gear Box Codes
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

Re: VW Gear Box Codes
The numbers after the AH are just a meaningless serial number. They dropped the counter serial number in favour of the date serial number in late 1972. Thus, your AH was made before then.

Snow! People are starting to open the windows in the transit trains here.2088bob wrote: and yes Bruce its still snowing here in ontario supposed to get 5 cms Saturday
I have one AH SSC gearbox with the large cross shaft, so you can't say all AH have the small shaft. Also, I have had DSC AT gearboxes with the big shaft.
To date a gearbox with only numbers and no letters in the code, go here:

Re: Re:
No.There was a plate type LSD or the more common 2 spider style. 4 spider diffs were made by a few aftermarket places with random reviews.Is there a thing trans that came with an OE 4 spider diff??
Yeah some may call it overkill, but you can't have too much overkill.

Re: VW Gear Box Codes & Gear Ratio's
So this is a good code?
CA0468993
supposed to be a bus box. Will it hold up to a stock ecotec of EJ22 Suby on a Baja 235-75 R15 tires?

Re: VW Gear Box Codes & Gear Ratio's
Just checked the numbers on my trike and they are AH 4659. Everything I find says it's a IRS, but it's a swing axle. Any thoughts?

Re: VW Gear Box Codes & Gear Ratio's
It is an IRS gearbox that has been converted to swing axle.
