Baywindow Bus Reconditioned Gearbox - 1600cc - 1968-72

Restore your classic VW’s performance with this fully reconditioned genuine Volkswagen gearbox, designed for Baywindow Buses from 1968 to 1972 fitted with the Type 1 1600cc air-cooled engine. Each unit is professionally rebuilt to original VW specifications by skilled technicians using high-quality replacement components to ensure smooth gear changes, reliability, and long service life.

Every gearbox undergoes a complete disassembly, deep cleaning, inspection, and rebuild process. Worn parts such as bearings, synchros, and seals are replaced, and all gears and shafts are carefully measured, aligned, and refitted to factory tolerances. The result is a gearbox that feels brand new and delivers the durability and performance expected from an original VW transmission.

These gearboxes are built to order to maintain quality control, with typical build times of 10–14 business days. During peak summer periods, lead times may extend slightly due to demand.

This gearbox is sold on an exchange basis, meaning a £350 + VAT surcharge will be added as a refundable deposit. Once your old gearbox is returned in a reconditionable condition, the surcharge will be refunded in full.
