VR gearbox bearings and seals

Recommended Posts

I've just picked up a VR gearbox which i will be stripping down to replace seals and bearings. I know there are few companies selling overhaul kits with the correct bearings and seals to be used, but i've not found one for that will supply the same for a C. Does anyone have any bearing and seal sizes? We can get most bearings pretty cheaply (SKF, NSK etc) so if there are just dimensions I can use that too.

Plus the seals.

Thanks

Most of the bearings are VW only and suppliers seem unable to get them, even though they list them. I have just rebuilt an 020 2Y for a customer and I could get the input shaft end bearing as it is just a rear wheel bearing, the diff bearings as well as one other I can't remember. All the needle cage bearings were VW specific. One I wanted is obsolete from VW as they recommend not refitting it but INA list it and won’t supply it. Seals all tend to be specific VW unless you search out the equivalents. I am just rebuilding a 1972 Beetle semi auto box and I have had hell getting some bearings and others I have got off the shelf from bearing factors. Certainly, when tracking down bearings, Goggle is very useful.
