Baywindow Bus Reconditioned Gearbox - 1600cc - 1972-75

Restore smooth, reliable driving performance with this fully reconditioned genuine VW gearbox, designed specifically for Baywindow Buses from 1972 to 1976 fitted with the Type 1 1600cc air-cooled engine. Each unit is professionally rebuilt to original Volkswagen specifications by experienced specialists, ensuring long-lasting quality and performance you can depend on.

Every gearbox undergoes a complete teardown and inspection process. Worn parts are replaced with new or reconditioned components, including bearings, synchros, seals, and gaskets. Gear sets are precision-checked for wear and alignment, and the casing is thoroughly cleaned before reassembly. The result is a gearbox that shifts smoothly, runs quietly, and delivers years of dependable service.

All gearboxes are built to order, ensuring every unit receives the attention to detail it deserves. Typical build time is 10–14 business days, though during peak periods (especially summer), this may extend slightly.

This gearbox is supplied on an exchange basis, requiring a £350 + VAT surcharge which is fully refundable once your old gearbox is returned in a reconditionable condition.
