Gearbox Types

     Our bell housings fit any VW bus gearbox from the 002, 091 and 094 ranges, as used on all rear engined VW buses from 1968 - 1990 (1992 Syncro). However, there are a huge range of gearbox variants with different combinations of gear ratios and other features. The Subaru EJ series engines all rev to at least 6000 rpm, which is considerably higher than any of the engines VW ever fitted. Some of the gearbox variants are better suited to use with a modern, high revving engine than others, but the choice also depends on your application and tyre size.

     The table below lists most of the gearbox types, alaong with all their ratios. Also shown in the right hand columns are the revs the engine will be doing in top gear at a range of different speeds. The calculations all assume standard 185/80 R14 tyres, or others with an equivalent diameter are being used. This makes it easier to see the affect the varying ratios have on rpm.
