This reconditioned IRS gearbox for the VW T1 Bus is the ideal solution for anyone who wants to convert their T1 to independent rear suspension (IRS) and benefit from improved driving stability, greater driving comfort, and a longer gear ratio.

In combination with reinforced CNC-machined side covers, a robust gearbox is created for modern engine setups and longer journeys.

The independent rear suspension (IRS) conversion offers significantly smoother handling, better directional stability, and more controlled compression compared to the original swing axle – especially at higher speeds. The long gear ratio reduces engine speed and ensures more relaxed driving on country roads and motorways.

Features & Benefits

  • Suitable for VW T1 Bus – independent rear suspension (IRS) conversion
  • Long gear ratio for reduced engine speed
  • Reinforced CNC side covers for increased housing rigidity
  • Improved bearing guidance and increased durability
  • Suitable for performance-optimized engines
  • Significantly improved handling compared to swing axle

Application Area

Ideally suited for:

  • VW T1 Buses with IRS/independent rear suspension conversion
  • Vehicles with higher torque engines
  • Long-distance and travel purposes
  • Road use with a focus on durability and driving comfort

Design & Quality

The gearbox is professionally assembled, tested, and delivered ready for installation.

The CNC-machined side covers provide additional stability for the gearbox housing and contribute to long-term reliability. Each unit is inspected before delivery and customized for each project.

Note

This is a technically revised gearbox for classic Volkswagen vehicles as part of an independent rear suspension (IRS) conversion. The implementation is project-specific and depends on the respective vehicle setup.
