Baywindow Bus Reconditioned Gearbox - 1700cc

Restore the power and reliability of your classic VW with this fully reconditioned genuine Volkswagen gearbox, built to suit Baywindow Buses from 1972 to 1976 fitted with the Type 4 1700cc air-cooled engine. Professionally rebuilt by experienced VW transmission specialists, each gearbox is completely stripped, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt to original factory specifications, ensuring smooth performance and long-lasting durability.

Every component is meticulously checked for wear and replaced as necessary, including bearings, seals, synchros, and gaskets. The gears and shafts are aligned and assembled to precise tolerances, giving you that factory-fresh shift feel and dependable reliability mile after mile.

These gearboxes are built to order to ensure the highest quality workmanship. Standard build time is 10–14 business days, although during busy summer periods, production time may be slightly longer due to demand.

All reconditioned gearboxes are supplied on an exchange basis, meaning a £350 + VAT surcharge will be added as a deposit and refunded once your old gearbox is returned in a reconditionable condition.
