[VB] Transaxle

[John Dillon]

so i need to put the axles on … i noticed in the 63 to 67 Bentley they talk about three colours on the axles and the things the axles go into prior to inserting in the transmission … those colours are long since gone - i have the rebuilder a center section with axles and the axles returned with left and right written on them … i guess driver’s side is left so the left axle goes on that side but i still have no idea as to colour.
