Snapped output shaft? (1 Viewer)

[Bighorn Bande]

I read a thread about using a puller (all examples seemed to be tabletop, not in vehicle). Is it really just the three 17mm bolts holding it in (other than the press bearing)?

For some reason this photo flipped so up is down.

Two more bolts inside the side cover.

And yes, that is the ‘special’ case for which there are limited replacement parts.

Awesome. I could have a rebuilt one sent from Brazil in my buddies next shipment of VWs, but I really wanted to do it myself. I wonder if a US variety would bolt up?

I believe so. I don’t know what a split case looks like (or where it splits) to say for sure.

How many splines on the output shaft?
Does the idler shaft measure 34 mm?
I see it is a one piece T/C.

You measured the output shaft. In your pic the idler shaft has the redish goop around it. Sort of in the center of the case.

Whats special? Late model solid case that was never here?

Is that case cast iron? Interesting!

Ok, it's time this thread had some twisted shaft Gee Whiz information from the old timer. Don't know about shorter shafts like yours, but back in the day the guys racing Baja would paint a white line down their rear axle shafts. The shafts would start having a permanent twist on day one, then they would finally snap once they had about a full 360 degree twist. The racers wouldn't start a race on a shaft that had a 180 degree twist in it, but they would carry that shaft in their chase truck as a "spare/limp home/finish the race" shaft.

That says 37.90. Didn’t see how bad the glare was

Any good ideas on how to remove this nut that’s on the tranny shaft? I have two problems.
1. as I try and turn it, I already removed the drive lines and it wants to spin
2. The crush part of the nut must have been hit with a hammer. It really doesn’t want to un-crush.

is the transmision in gear with wheels chocked? that may help in keeping it from turning
an impact gun will work
a small chisel to get in the groove and bend the tab back out

any or all of the above

What is the diameter of your idler shaft.

What is the diameter of your idler shaft.

Isn’t that the middle one? I’ve tried to find a labeled diagram, but have been unsuccessful. You may be under the impression that I know what I’m doing.

Yes, the middle one you measured is it.
