new to forum and to trike i got a transmission/rear end related question for vw trike
hi all im new to this forum i got lucky finding it i have been searching for a place where other people have and have built trikes i am in the process of trying to get a vw powered trike on the road it has a 1600 duel port with manual trans and swing axle suspension i am in a wheel chair so anything req me to have to use a clutch to shift is out the door so i picked up a fully automatic vw trans out of a vw bus but from what i have been reading this req a irs rear end now what i'm trying to figure out is can i just replace my axles with irs axles? or do i have to lob off my entire rear end and replace it with a irs rear?and if i do either of these things does it matter what type of vw it comes out of or will i have to use a vw bus only? i took on this trike so that i could enjoy it and build it with my dad but it has started to become a real steep learning curved project so any sugestions/help would be very much appreciated
