OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

If you have a bus transmission! It's really important that you know which starter to get! The bell housings are interchangeable on them, sometimes the bell housing does NOT match the transmission (Sometimes guys put the 002 short bell housing on an 091 transmission so they can use the cheaper 2" throw starter)! On YOUR transmission, the distance from the mounting flange to the starter bushing is 2" for the Beetle/002 Style (53670 and 53675 Starter), but it's 2 1/2" for the 091 Style (53680 and 53685 Starter).

This starter fits these applications:

12V Type 2 with 091 Transmission
