Volkswagen implemented several specific drivetrain changes for the 1960 model year, and this front mount is a prime example. It is physically distinct from both the earlier 8mm stud mount and the later 10mm stud versions, featuring a specialized shape and bracket configuration designed to mate the 1960 transaxle nose cone to the chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eBecause this part was only used for a single production year, it is often difficult to source and is frequently replaced with incorrect \"close-enough\" parts that lead to poor shift linkage alignment.
