Technical / ATF Tank Capacity

Last post by Legacy - 09 April 2024, 21:14

I recently drained and removed the ATF tank from a 69 Karmann Ghia to paint the engine compartment.  Didn't measure how much fluid was in the tank before I drained it.  Can someone give me an estimate of how much fluid the tank holds so I know how much to get.

Thanks much

Last post by BUgsy71 - 27 February 2024, 06:30

So my trans has started popping out of first, but only on deceleration.  It goes right back in, no problem.  Any ideas would be great.  New shift bushing, new coupler, shiftrod clamp and spring in place, new motor mounts.  Checked lockout plate, and clutch servo control arm.  I'm at a loss.

The transmission plate bolt sizes are M7/1.25 I confirmed, which means you will have to scavenge them from an old autostick transmission or get them custom machined because they do NOT exist. M7's are only made with 1.0 thread pitch.

No replies? Surely I'm not the only one here restoring an autostick from scratch!

Found a magical solution:
I ended up winning an auction of a dearly departed VW club member for a super rare Matra 184 drive plate retaining ring. Paid out the nose, but it was worth it. Was able to torque the drive plate to spec with zero plate flexing.

I see no reason why it wouldn't work as long as it is a single port intake. There are several on Ebay.

I have a 68 single port I need and intake manifold and I'm not having any luck. The number on it is 113 129 701N is 113 129 701K the same thing?
