dipstick transmission in vw beetle
A 1998 VW Beetle does not have a dipstick that you can check the transmission fluid with. Instead, there is a fill tube with a red cap on the side of the transmission. Take the red cap off and that is how you check the levels on this type of vehicle.
Back in 1970 all engine controls were done by mechanical means. The answer is no, there is no PCM on a 1970 VW Beetle.

A 1970 VW Beetle will have what is referred to as the IRS transaxle not the earlier swing axle used up until 1968. Any good gear lube made for use in manual transmissions will work, an 85W/140 for example. I have used a Slick 50 manual transmission additive in mine that helps smooth the shifting noticeably.
