Hello VWAR!!
Finally going to get around to swapping my early 4.375: R&P tranny with a later 4.125:1 R&P tranny I picked up from one of our fellow members (ajcarguy72). The new tranny is the later 8/1970-up unit with only 1 temp sensor and no range/temp switch, so the wiring is slightly different. My Bentley manual only covers 1969 and down VW's. Could someone here be so kind as to post a pic of the later wiring diagram please and thank you. The new tranny has no PARK (FYI).
I have a diagram that shows only one auto stick trans temp sensor. I will send a pic I hope it is readable.
For the record, at the speedometer, the trans temp light socket should have 2 wires on it. One that goes to 12 volts, the other wire connects to the trans temp sensor. When the sensor detects things are too hot, it provides ground onto its wire. That ground completes the circuit for the light in the dash and the ATF temp bulb lights up.
In other words, you need one wire that goes directly from the temp sensor to one of the connections on the atf bulb socket. The other atf bulb connection goes to 12 volts.
Its a very simple circuit.
Hope this helps.
By the way the factory single temp wiring appears to be blue/yellow. The dual temp wire at the dash is blue/red.
Hey there!
I opened the pic on my computer. Unfortunately it is completely unreadable, but it has very pretty colors on it though ::)! Can I get a link to the pic, maybe I can get a better viewing of it there. I have the complete later harness for the tranny, I just need the correct info to connect it to the car. Thanks for the info on the ATF light, I most likely would have wired that part incorrectly.
I also want to swap out the factory 1969 90MPH speedo with the later 100MPH speedo. I am pretty sure the wiring is the same, anything I need to look out for on the later ones?
One more thing, I am attempting to turn my '69 Auto-Stick into a '67 (with the exception of it still being an Auto-Stick). I am swapping to a mid '60's gas tank and installing an electric fuel sender. Is there a sender for the mid '60's tank that works on the late 100MPH speedo?
Hello, I can't answer your gas tank question as I am not at all familiar with the various years. Can you send me your email and I will try and send you a larger picture of that diagram. I have no idea where I got that photo so I can't give you a link.

hi,
I'll try & find a suitable wiring diagram for your beetle... its IS very simple...
much simpler than the early one with the extra switches...
I wish I could find a 4.125 to 1 transaxle for My beetle
I have three gearboxes and all from 1968... lol
cheers from Australia

Are you swapping the doors to the 1967 ONLY round push button door handles....
which We didn't get here in Australia....
door glass is different i think too...
Vertical or sloping headlamps????

PS: 1967 was the biggest year for sales of the beetle in the USA....
and VW Australasia was or had been disbanded....
1968 saw imported beetles into Australia for the first time for many years.... after local manufacture..

Sweet, thanks! This is helpful, just need to figure out where to find the diagram key. None of the other keys have any A/S components in them.

Yes indeed Lee, all 1967 stuff with single beam late headlights. But just today I found an oval window bug sitting back in a storage lot at a used tire shop. It has about 2 inches of dust on it and it has been 1/2 baja'ed. Everything is stock, engine, wheels and tires, decklid, etc... The rear fenders have been cut slightly, the rear apron has been removed and a small engine bumper bar installed. The back of the body has not been cut off. I had a thought of dropping that body on my Auto-Stick, running a 67 wiring harness and "un"-baja-ing it. If not, I'm going to stay with the 1967 idea. Either way I think it would be bad ass!

Sorry, the pic you sent via e-mail is the same blurred thing. Thanks anyway!
Hi
check out My website , hopefully You may be able to read it..
this is for the two heat sensor gearboxes..
You may be looking for the later model with only one heat sensor...??
I'll see what I can find...

first time i've actually transferred a pic from My website... lol
Now that was easy... lol
New here is the single temp sender wiring.. I've just done...

Thanks Lee! This is another great diagram of the single temp sensor A/S tranny.

I'm curious to know where you found that.
The Samba is running a factoid (#829) that says VW had nearly a 25% increase in Type 1 sales from 1967 production year to the 1968 production year.
Hi Mike,
I knew somewone would ask where I saw that info... lol
I'll have to see if i can find it again...
it may have been total type 1s sold in 1967 ??
as the 1967 beetle is the rarest - as it was only made the one year.. [since 1955]
I may have in the back of My brain that it was rare.. [not in sales.. lol]
naturally, most yearly sales figures are always different from different sources..
plus the Year being jan to dec or July to Aug ?? and counting imports??
or cars made in other countries like South Africa and Australia..
and counting Karmann made vehicles???
out of interest... Mike... what VW year model was the biggest seller in the USA??
from Your info...
to add to confusion all these books coming out using Year as Jan to Dec and NOT the VW model year July to DEC..
cheers
LEE
PS: Summer is coming ... 34C yesterday and 35C so far today [remember thats in the shade]
I left My beetle in the Sun all day a few days ago... and holy cow batman .. that metal gets very hot.. lol

I honestly don't know for sure. That's why I was interested in your source.
However, if one can extrapolate sales figures from production (seems a reasonable assumption, doesn't it? After all if they made 'em they must have sold 'em.) 1971 would seem to have been the big year for sales of Bugs in the USA (worldwide?). Almost 1,300,000 produced for 71.
