Reply to "Is 1915cc enough?"

You're correct, Rick. It wasn't a "Super Beetle" shaft, it was just a later one that went in everything VW had with a wider, stronger first gear. It went in standard Beetles, Ghias, type3 and Things as well as Supers.

The stock gears you'll likely get with the 3.44 R&P are 3:80 or 3:78 1st, 2.06 2nd, 1.26 3rd, and 0.89 4th. I have this transmission in my Spyder with a 2165cc. It is a nice all-around combo, and should work very well with a 2332cc in a Speedster. Twin Cities, you should be happy.

VW did make a 1.30 3rd and a 0.93 4th, which IMHO would be VERY sweet in your Speedster. But it really depends on the options of what the trans builder offers.
