I would literally pay extra to have my transaxle “Lito-built”. As in, put my order in so he builds it, even if it costs more and I have to wait longer.

Lino, YOU ARE AWESOME, Brother! I'm in my mid seventies already, but I too have rebuilt a few Bug trannies over the years, but NEVER as fast and skillfully as you in such a short time. I love and truly appreciate the CLEANLINESS and POLISHING you do to the parts. It REALLY makes a difference on the durability of VDUB trannies. I am presently working on one now for my one and only grandchild, hoping to have it running by the end of this month. Thank you for the many tips you have provided us DIY's with this video.

@davidnee6157 Ай бұрын

Very interesting! However, in the beginning of the video, after welding on a harden gear, THEN drop it in water. I about lose it. When doing that, you put micros cracks in the welds and the surrounding metal. You also made that gear MORE brittle. I've been working with metals, welding and microscopes for the DOD for MANY years. The proper way is bury your part in sand, let it cool slowly. At the least, let it air dry.

@ronzavarella4171 4 ай бұрын

I don't work on transmissions but I do a lot of ring and pinion gear work. It doesn't show in the video, you checked your gear pattern but how do you change the pinion depth? Are there shims you can ad or subtract under the pinion head? and, is there any pinion pre load? On your backlash setting, there are no screw cap adjusters, assuming there are shims outside the carrier bearings that you can move from side to side, and no bearing caps to torque. Interesting and nice work. Also, are there different ring and pinion gear sets available, higher ratios for better highway driving? And do you have a posi unit for these? Thank You very much. Ron Z.

@enoz.j3506 3 ай бұрын

I would of thought polishing surfaces ( that arnt oil pressure fed) would wear quicker ,as the oil has nowhere to sit on the surface (in the micro undulations) , like a lathe bed which is scrapped and not polished. Whats your thoughts? Great informative video.

I’m a fan of you for VW repairs , but I think you forgot to tell the audience of your channel , you need to use and open wrench maybe 7mm OR a small clamp pliers to hold the clutch cable from turning , if cable turn while you turning the clutch wing nut , cable will brake or worst , will get crumble inside the tube the problems will happen.
