The 31\/8 Swing is the favorite for those who want to drive their air-cooled VW comfortably without compromise on highways. This reconditioned gearbox has a nice 0.89 fourth gear, which means your engine can run much more relaxed at normal speeds. The gearbox has been completely overhauled and is ready for installation. Combine it with our Swing rear axle and you have a true cruiser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#fff8e6;border-left:4px solid #d48a00;border-radius:4px;padding:14px 18px;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:0.75em;font-weight:700;color:#a86d00;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.06em;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003ePlease note\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.88em;color:#333;margin:0;\"\u003eThese gearboxes are also called 'Freeway flyer' or 'long box' and have a larger final drive and longer 4th gear. The gearboxes are completely taken apart, cleaned and checked. The standard ring and pinion has been replaced by a 31\/8 version and the 4th gear by one with a 0.89 ratio, which allows you to go faster on the highway with a lower rpm. Everything else that was needed was replaced and the whole thing was put back together and tuned according to factory specifications. Completely ready to assemble so you can drive many carefree kilometres again\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f9f9f6;border-left:4px solid #2d6a35;border-radius:4px;padding:14px 18px;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:0.75em;font-weight:700;color:#2d6a35;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.06em;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:4px 0;font-size:0.88em;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d6a35;margin-right:8px;font-weight:bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003e31\/8 crown wheel and pinion for a higher final drive ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:4px 0;font-size:0.88em;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d6a35;margin-right:8px;font-weight:bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003e0.89 4th gear ratio – ideal for longer distances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:4px 0;font-size:0.88em;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d6a35;margin-right:8px;font-weight:bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003eCompletely overhauled, cleaned, and factory-adjusted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:4px 0;font-size:0.88em;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d6a35;margin-right:8px;font-weight:bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003eSuitable for VW Beetle and Karmann Ghia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:4px 0;font-size:0.88em;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d6a35;margin-right:8px;font-weight:bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003eAlso called \"Freeway Flyer\" or \"long box\": larger final drive and longer 4th gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:4px 0;font-size:0.88em;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d6a35;margin-right:8px;font-weight:bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003eRebuilt: completely taken apart, cleaned and checked; standard ring and pinion replaced by a 31\/8 version and 4th gear by one with a 0.89 ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:4px 0;font-size:0.88em;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d6a35;margin-right:8px;font-weight:bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003eAllows higher speeds on the motorway at lower rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding:4px 0;font-size:0.88em;color:#333;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#2d6a35;margin-right:8px;font-weight:bold;\"\u003e✓\u003c\/span\u003eEverything that was needed has been replaced and set to factory specifications; ready to fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e0e0d8;border-radius:4px;padding:14px 18px;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:0.75em;font-weight:700;color:#555;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.06em;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:0.88em;\"\u003e\u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #f0f0ea;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#777;width:45%;\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#1a1a1a;font-weight:500;\"\u003eVW Beetle, VW Karmann Ghia, VW Type 3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#777;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"BBT\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/4678\/6124\/files\/BBT-original_800x800.png\" style=\"height: 24px; width: auto; vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 8px;\" title=\"BBT\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.8em; color: #777; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003eBBT\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BBT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57293574439244,"sku":"1490","price":4159.38,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/4678\/6124\/files\/1490.jpg?v=1777571314","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagedub.at\/en\/products\/bbt-1490","provider":"VintageDub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
