Got two complete trannys drum to drum and don't know which would be better to put in the speedster. Not worried about the 4 or 5 bolt issue. Any thoughts? 1600 stock engine. 165/70/15 tires.

I pesonaly liked the 68 tranny better. it pulls good in the snow..
'68 transaxle, no question at all. '68 has all of the benefits of the later IRS.
The '68 came with the long axles, however, so if yours is a standard Speedster body shell, you'll have problems fitting wheels other than stock VW or with a custom off set.

If both trannys are swing axle, you should be able to swap axle assemblies, and wind up with short axles.....Or am I having a senior moment?
I was thinking the 68' tranny with the 65' axles would be nice.
