TRANSMISSION

Built to Handle the Torque: Precision Drivetrain Solutions

The transmission is the vital link that translates your engine's horsepower into motion. In an air-cooled Volkswagen or a custom sand rail, the transaxle faces immense stress—whether it's the constant shifting of city driving or the high-impact shock loads of jumping a dune. At Appletree Automotive, we provide the heavy-duty VW Transmission Parts required to build a drivetrain that is as smooth as it is indestructible.

From original swing-axle components for the vintage restorer to reinforced 091 Bus transaxles for the high-horsepower off-road racer, we carry the hardware to keep you in gear and on the move.

Why Shop Transmission Parts at Appletree Automotive?

• Comprehensive Rebuild Kits: Don't let a worn syncro or a noisy bearing end your trip. Our transaxle rebuild kits include the high-quality bearings, gaskets, and seals needed to refresh your Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3 transmission to factory-new standards.

• Performance Gear Sets & Super Diff Upgrades: Putting more power to the ground? We stock high-strength gear sets and "Super Diff" kits that reinforce the weak points of the factory transaxle, allowing you to handle increased torque without the fear of internal failure.

• Off-Road Specialty Transaxles (002 & 091): For the sand rail and Baja Bug community, the 002 and 091 Bus transmissions are the gold standard. We carry the specialized nose cones, mid-mounts, and chromoly shift forks needed to adapt these rugged units into your off-road chassis.

• Precision Shifters & Linkage: Take the "guesswork" out of finding your gears. Our selection of performance shifters and heavy-duty shift couplers provides a crisp, mechanical feel that eliminates the vague, "soupy" shifting common in older air-cooled vehicles.

• Heavy-Duty Side Covers & Cases: Prevent "ring and pinion" flex with our reinforced aluminum side covers. These are essential for high-performance builds to ensure your gears stay perfectly aligned under heavy load.

• The Appletree Advantage: Understanding the difference between IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) and Swing Axle configurations is critical for fitment. Our team of experts can guide you through gear ratios and axle lengths to ensure your drivetrain is perfectly matched to your engine and tire size.

• Free Shipping on Orders Over $75: Transaxle parts like gear sets and cases are heavy and precision-engineered. Take advantage of our free shipping offer on qualifying orders over $75 to get your drivetrain components delivered directly to your door without the added expense.
