Dave Folts VW Type 1 Late Model Throw-Out Bearing Upgrade Kit — Modern Reliable Engagement | VW Type 1 Early Transmission

Dave Folts Late-Model Throw-Out Bearing Upgrade Kit | VW Type 1

Upgrade your early Type 1 transmission to a modern, reliable engagement system with this complete Late-Model Throw-Out Bearing Conversion Kit. Manufactured by Dave Folts—a name synonymous with high-performance transaxle components for over two decades—this kit solves the inherent reliability issues of early-style "clips" that are prone to failing or falling off the cross-shaft.

The centerpiece of this kit is the heavy-duty reinforced cross-shaft. Unlike stock stamped versions, the ears on this shaft are precision-welded and strengthened to handle increased pedal pressure and high-performance pressure plates without flexing or breaking.

Product Features

• Complete Conversion: Includes everything required to transition from the early-style bearing to the vastly superior 1971-later guided style.
