Title: 5-speed gearboxes Post by: Felix/DFL on November 02, 2006, 00:02:04 am Hi guys,
I have found this 5-speed "self assembley kit" ;) (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/312499.jpg) The pre owner said that it`s a gene berg 5-speed.But I am not so surely about this point.On the pic`s I saw from the berg one it looks a diffrent: http://www.glenn-ring.com/resto/resto5.html (http://www.flat4.de/berg5_bx.jpg) My case has a logo in the front nose with ITE as a cross (look first pic).And the between-flange looks a different.The screws go through... Is mine a berg one no or? An real early prototype ? ;D To me there is only one other 5-speed known.It`s named true-shift. Any infos about 5-speed conversions would be fantastic ! Not so many out there for VW boxes as I know. Let the good times roll,Felix Title: Re: 5-speed gearboxes Post by: Felix/DFL on November 06, 2006, 22:16:55 pm hmmh,looks that not many are working with 5-speeds...Are there any declerations for that ? I think that the big advantage is to get a better close ratio with more potential to go faster on longer traveling.
Mine is for 99% no G.B. I have found out some more VW 5-speed suppliers: r&n engine&trans, cb-performance They mainly coppied the first prototypes of G.B. Go on&on,Felix Title: Re: 5-speed gearboxes Post by: jick on November 07, 2006, 00:59:07 am we're not using 5 speeds felix.............................

Do you even know something about the flaws ? Cause my english is not so good... ::) One of my shafts is a broken.But I think that could be reconstructed with a build after original crank.
