Subaru to VW Bellhousing Kits:
Our bell housing kits offer a number of advantages over the alternative - adaptor plates with special flywheels. . These include:
The Subaru flywheel is used, giving the correct rotational inertia for the engine. This can be a major advantage in either filly laden campers of Syncro’s, with their ultra low crawler gear.
They have been designed to solve a number of known problems with the adaptor plate type design
While the bell housing casting itself is common to both, different clutch release parts are needed for naturally aspirated and turbo Subaru engines due to the different clutch types used. Therefore a different kit is available for each. The turbo kit is slightly more complex, and so costs slightly more.
Bellhousing Kits for Naturally Aspirated Subaru Clutches:
This kit joins any 1968 - 1990 (1992 Syncro) VW bus transaxle to any 1990 - present Subaru engine which uses a ‘push to release’ clutch (as fitted to naturally aspirated Subarus). Clutch components are not included, as these both vary depending on engine specification, and as used parts can be used as long as they are in good condition. A new input shaft seal and pilot bearing are included. These kits are sold outright - no component are on an exchange basis.

Bellhousing Kits for Subaru Turbo Clutches:
This kit joins any 1968 - 1990 (1992 Syncro) VW bus transaxle to any 1990 - present Subaru engine which uses a ‘pull to release’ clutch (as fitted to turbo Subarus). Clutch components are not included, as these both vary depending on engine specification, and as used parts can be used as long as they are in good condition. A new I input shaft seal and pilot bearing are included. All parts except one in these kits are sold outright. The other one component - the clutch release cross shaft is on an exchange basis. A surcharge applies on the cross shaft, if you do mot provide your old shaft with the order. The surcharge is refundable on receipt of your old cross shaft later, assuming it is in good, usable condition. Click here for details of the shaft which is needed in return.
