VW Sandrail Transmission Swap - Part 3

Mounting the new transmission is pretty easy when everything is exposed on a Sandrail. I needed to fabricate a bracket for the front of the transmission, originally I wanted to make a diamond shaped plate, but didn't have any metal around big enough to do so. Instead I worked out a cross shape from some 3/16in steel flatbar and welded that together and drilled to fit. The top/rear transmission hanger was almost in exactly the right spot, the holes already aligned. Only had to bend it a tad to make everything fit right, and cut the tang off that blocked the starter from being installed. Pulling out the automatic transmission is pretty easy when all the parts are clean and exposed as they are on a Sandrail. I found that the Flexplate is shredded, and the bellhousing is cracked. What a mess. This is the reason why I pulled two VW Bus transmissions recently. Sadly I pulled a rotten one first... lol. But this sandrail has an automatic transmission and will be swapped over to manual to eliminate the constant replacement of the flexplates and other VW automatic transmission parts which are getting harder to find (and expensive).
