1968 VW Type 3 Axles, CV & Axle Boots

The 1968 VW Type 3 transmissions were paired with a swing axle, whereas later VWs used independent rear suspension (IRS). A simple way to tell the difference between swing axle & IRS transmissions is to look at the axle boots. Swing axle transmission have the axle boot positioned only at the transmission. IRS transmissions have the axle boots positioned at the wheel and transmission. No matter what transmission style in your VW, we carry everything you need.

1968 VW Type 3 Clutch Components

JBugs has a complete selection of Clutches and Components to fit a 1968 VW Type 3. Rebuilding is made simple with quality German clutch discs, bearings, and pressure plates.

Up until 1973, VWs had a 6 Volt, 180mm Clutch and Flywheel. If your engine has been swapped for a later model engine you may have a 12 Volt, 200mm Clutch and Flywheel. Keep in mind having a 12 Volt system does not determine that your VW has a 12 Volt Clutch. Changing to a 12 Volt system and keeping the 6 Volt Flywheel, Clutch, and Starter is common practice on earlier engines. Be certain to measure your Clutch Disc to determine which components are needed!

1968 VW Type 3 Transmission Parts

Replace worn out seals and cracked transmission parts with these all new stock components. From Axle parts to Shift Couplers we have it all. Please check which Axle and Transmission combination your Volkswagen has before ordering.

1968 VW Type 3 Transmission Mounts

Reduce unwanted shake and increase power to your wheels with our Deluxe Padded Front and Rear Transmission Support Kits. We also offer stock replacement rubber mounts for your air-cooled VW.

Add shocks, a sway bar, or upgrade to urethane bushings to complete your order. These parts are most easily accessible when the transmission is out being rebuilt. As Volkswagen enthusiasts we recommend taking a look at these other parts to see if they too need to be replaced.
