Set the parking brake, put the car in neutral and turn the key. Don't press the clutch pedal because that's hard on your main bearings.

Can a 71 super beetle hood fit on a 74 super beetle?

No,71 and 72 superbeetle hoods are longer than 73 and later,that have round windshield and 71 and 72 have flat windshield,by the way the hood is longer than 73 and later.


What is difference between 73 beetle and 74 super?

The windshield on the super beetle (and all super beetles) is rounded and makes a little dash board. The regular beetles windshield is flat and has no dash. Irgleloid Not true '71 and '72 Super beetles still have flat windshields, the curved windshield on a super beetle started in 1973 and also had non flat bigger plastic dashboard.

What is the difference between a 72 vw beetle and a 72 super beetle?

ALL Super Beetles have a McPherson Strut front suspension (the shock is inside the coil) and the spare tire lies flat. The main out side dimensions are the Supers are slightly longer from the windshield forward for the newer USA DOT regulations at the time.


Will a 72 super beetle motor fit in a 69 beetle?

Yes. But make sure you use the pressure plate made for your year car/tranny. The later cars used a different pressure plate.


How do you tell a 1977 Beetle from a Super Beetle?

A Beetle has a shock front suspension whereas a Super Beetle has McPherson struts. A Beetle has a flat windshield, Super has curved windshield from 73 on, but has a flat windshield in 71 and 72. Front hood on Beetle is narrow and comes to more of a point. Super looks wider and is more rounded. Supers are also known as Fat Chicks. ALL Supers have the McPherson strut so just look under the front hood in tire well and see if it has the "shock" inside the coil spring. The standard Beetles all have the same style from the A pillar back as the supers. 73 and later also has a big curved dash. Lastly, in 1977 the only Super was a convertible, 75 was the last year for a Super Beetle Sedan in the USA. All '77 convertibles are Supers. VW Beetle, Super Beetle history/FAQ, here is a link: http://www.superbeetles.com/faq.htm http://www.vwshowtime.com/8_history/history_e2.html The short answer is the only 77 Super Beetle was a convertible, no Super Sedans in 77, so if you have a US 77 Beetle Sedan it is not a Super Beetle. 71-72 Supers are AKA 1302, 73 and later known as 1303. no actually the 1973 model (which i drive) is actually a beetle not a super because 73 was the year that VW changed to making only supers so you've got half beetles and the others supers but the only thing different is the front clip anywhere from dash board back is actually the same as a regular beetle but the other answer that i just improved is also correct they did go to the McPherson's strut for the front end so any where from 1974 on up are supers unless modified.


What is the Difference between 73 beetle and 73 super beetle?

The Super Beetles started in '71 or '72 and and the main differences are they are a little bit longer and they went to a Strut front suspension. They also went to a curved windshield in '74 or '75. I'm not sure when the standards did. But in "general", everything behind the windshield is the same as a standard, so I'm told. But every year VW made slight changes to them both so some things will fit others and some things won't. The curved windshield on a super beetle started in '73 and had a larger plastic dashboard. Another way you can tell a beetle from a super beetle is the standard beetle's spare tire sits uprite in the front of trunk while the super lays flat on bottom of trunk.


Can you replace back glass super beetle with standard beetleglass?

Yes, the super and standard are the same from the "A" pillar (where the door hinges are) back. '72-'77 back glass is the same if you have a '71 it's the same down to '65.
