Many later Supers had a transaxle with the 3.88 R&P which is desirable over the normal 4.125 R&P. Check the serial number.

AS        1600           3.875          Type I from 1973

AT        1600          3.875         Type 1303 and Verts from 1973

AU        1600           3.875          Type 1303 with LSD from 1973

A '70-72 Porsche 914 5 Speed (tail shifter) can be used too and more available (cheaper).  It is a 901 trans just like the early 911/912.  You have to flip the R&P, add a vent hole and swap the nose cone (and the shift linkage).

Do you have a VW title for both Super and Std beetle pans?  That may be deciding factor in which you use as it may be difficult to register a pan without a title (dependent on state).
