Don't get me lying. All I know is it has a 12v bushing size hole in the bell
housing, but if I remember correctly it is all one unit. Not removable like my
late model Bus tranny.
If I remember correctly, someone at Rancho told me that only 1967 was a 12v and
earlier ones were 6v? this was 2 years ago, but the jist was of all the big nut
trannys there was only one year when they made the hole this size. Wanna buy
it? : )

One year only 12V tranny? Would this be a late model bug center section?

Change 6V stuff to 12V. OK, vintage. Got it. you might still want to look into
a starter for an automatic. But wait. Do you still have a 6V flywheel? Never
mind. I don’t think I could keep a true vintage bus on the road.

Why not 12V? Do you not have to change out with 8V?

I agree. I was having trouble starting it when I first got it (it was the
bushing) so I opted for an 8V. The 8v battery has more cranking amps and I want
my lights to be as bright as possible.

Well, I’ll put this out there, although I don’t know if it applies. I was
dealing with the whole starter bushing thing until someone told me to use a
starter for an automatic transmission. I fits and works and does not need a
bushing. I think your problem sounds completely electrical, since you say that
your starter won’t spin. My two cents.
Oh, and why an 8V battery? I never even heard of that.

It started last weekend and has now gotten worse. I had to get push started out
of a tire shop on Saturday and
I thought I'd had it fixed yesterday but had to get push started out of a show.
The starter won't turn. I removed the starter and figured the bushing was the
problem again. The bushing came out with the starter. I put another one in and
still nothing, I put in the old starter and after 5 attempts is started fine.
Now nothing. Robb has suggested soldering the ends of the wires to get a good
contact through the screw terminals on the ignition switch and headlight
switch. I'm gonna try that tonight.
I am wondering if it is possible the 8v battery is wreaking havoc with the 6v
switches? Has anyone had a bushing come out with the starter? I never had and
am concerned about that as well.
