SIDE COVERS

For performance builds, factory cast-iron or aluminum side covers can flex under heavy torque, leading to ring and pinion misalignment. We stock heavy-duty aluminum side covers that provide additional rigidity, which is a must-have upgrade when installing a Super Diff or high-ratio gears. For the custom builder, we also offer chrome side covers to add a professional, show-quality finish to your Beetle, Karmann Ghia, or Sand Rail.

Our Transmission Side Cover Selection Features:

• Heavy-Duty Reinforced Designs: Engineered to eliminate "differential walk" and case stretching in high-performance and off-road applications.

• Chrome & Polished Finishes: Perfect for show cars and custom buggies that demand a clean, mirrored look for the drivetrain.

• Swing Axle & IRS Compatibility: Specific designs to fit both Swing Axle and Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) transaxles.

• Complete Sealing Solutions: We carry the high-quality paper gaskets and rubber O-rings required to ensure a perfect, drip-free seal during installation.

• Billet & Cast Options: Choose between rugged cast replacements or precision-machined billet aluminum for maximum strength-to-weight ratios.
