Hello
could anyone please tell me if an Aircooled 1600 4 speed gearbox is the same as an Aircooled 2L 4 speed gearbox?
Thank you

no 'ribs' on the 1600 box well at least there about 4mm high as opposed to the dk which has deep ribs

I fitted a bored up 1600 bug engine to an Aircooled 2l box and it worked quite well but I did have a modified camshaft. Also clutch different size.
