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? : ) James DAC TCB '59 23 Window Deluxe '73/'77 Westfakia '78 Super Vert From: w.wood <evil.scientist.boo@xxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 12:03 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: I'm thoroughly bummed... the 23 won't be at Nac One year only 12V tranny?

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.

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.

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.

From: James Dwan Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 8:11 AM To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tcb] I'm thoroughly bummed... the 23 won't be at Nac 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.
