1974 B1 Passat LS

[1977_PASSAT]

Hi :
I am new to this forum .
On the B1 Passat I noticed there is 2 type of linkages on the gear box , one short on a tower thing and one straight from the floor .
Is the gear box the same or are they different ?
Can the one straight from the floor be changed to the one with the tower ?
I have a 1974 LS and want to change it to the 1977 type .


Thank you

Near finish.
Very hard to find parts for it .
I have found parts mostly from 2 wrecked cars in NSW .

Great work on the resto.

I've merged all your threads to keep everything together. Just reply to your own thread rather than making new ones to add further updates.

Cheers,

Hi Peter :
Thank you for fixing my threads , I was wondering some thing is not write .
I have to say i admire the work you did on your Passat .
I wanted mine to look like a GLS but was not able to find the door cards .

I Can say that is finished , but a car will never finish .

I know the early gearboxes are different but I don't really know much about them.

What do you need to know?

Also try asking your question over at VWDasher.com there's a lot of B1 Passat info on there.

Hi :
Your Passat , the linkage looks like is on tower or is about 10 to 15 cm above the floor
But the older one's comes out straight from the floor
I would like to know
Is the box is the same ?
Where can I find a linkage like yours

Thank you
Amir
