Transmission types

Richard Eastham

Im trying to figure out what transmission to buy for my kit. I have bought some haynes manuals for the beetles. I dont know if my chassis is going to be swing axle or IRS. One of the manuals states that the only “Double jointed drive shaft” (assuming this is IRS) model is semi automatic... i dont want an auto box. My basic question is, do all manual transmissions accept both axle types, double jointed (IRS) and single jointed (swing axle). There must have been IRS manual cars. Were the IRS manual cars super beetles? It seems the frame head on a superbeetle is seriously different , does anyone ever use a superbeetle frame for our kit cars?
