[QUOTE="a14blue, post: 564412, member: 17671"] I'm in the middle of replacing the rear main! I picked up a beetle gearbox AM code as the bus only does 50 (sat nav) and its screaming do it, at first thought it must be a lack of power so I fitted a pair of drla 36's and now it just gets to 50 quicker? It's a USA import so I thought it might have a mountain gearbox. But it has a CO code? So it's normal. Could be contaminated clutch plate but it pulls up hills and it doesn't feel like it's slipping. The AM gearbox is an unknown quantity where my gearbox changes well. is it possible to swap the final drive from the beetle as this will help top speed. I'm not greedy 60 would be bliss and keep me out the way of the HGV's [/QUOTE]
