  • The Herbie Vw Beetle tribute car has a broken transmission and does not roll. Let's try and get it off the trailer and swap the transmission with a good one. Then it's first push in years !

    Dude, you are the hardest working car rescuer on CZcams. Others started their channels doing crazy revivals and now they do most of their work in a shop. Not you, I think I would have waited at least till it stopped raining. Keep up the good work. 👍

      Well if you plan to do work a shop is an upgrade... most of us figure out quickly how much. your work improves having more Tools and a place to work in is a Must... but spending your life outside is your choice...he has a Shop too...😂

    Every time Josh is in the video I am absolutely amazed how quickly he is growing! Such a good son and happy he’s there for you and I’m sure learning so much. My youngest tries her best to help me out but is well past the age your boy is and has other priorities now.
    Keep being awesome!

    I fell in love with the Herbie car after watching the movie as a kid. I think it’s really cool that you guys found and rescued this lil’ guy. Like you said, you’ve got a lot of irons in the fire but I hope he gets fixed up and gets back on the road where he belongs. Thank you so much J!

    'We push cars around' . What a great job even in the rain. You watch these movies and think, 'does it really rain that hard in the USA'? Yes it does! At least Herbie is rolling once again. Glad Josh could help, he seems to be quite good at operating the Kubta, had a good teacher! Thanks for the shop update and thanks for another great video Jason. 👍👍

    Brought back memories of 1967 my father and I replaced a 1962 trans . I kicked it in and busted the boot on heater cable tube. I caught hell . That was 12 bucks you damaged. It was the beginning of my love for VW's . I bought so many parts at the dealership they offered me a Job . Took it rest is history.

    So glad you are ok. When Herbie came forward in the beginning of the video, I thought the jack flipped over and you were in front of it. Then you were gone for a while out of sight. Then you popped up and said got it with the strap.

    I had a 1957 bug. I rebuilt the 36 hp engine. Installed new heads. The one thing I did not like about that model was you always had to drop the engine out to work on anything major. The first gear always had a knock. Bad bearing. But I drove it that way several years till I sold it. Not a winter car for sure. I drove to Conn one year in a snow storm. Snow was blowing up out of the defrosters and ice on the dash. After that trip it was sold and I bought a brand new 1971 Jeepster commando.

      Found this on google: There's been a photo being shared online that shows a 1959 Beetle in Germany which had a coffee machine mounted to the dashboard. It's true, VW did try this. It was very rare, but it did exist. The coffee heated up by being plugged into the old lighter socket, similar to brewing tea. The cups were also held on by magnets.

    I've been greasing lug nuts and lug bolts for decades. They never rust or seize and they never come loose.

    I'm guessing the gears are jammed between 2nd and 3rd, (someone tried power shifting a tired old gearbox) all you had to do is open the oil fill plug, stick a flat blade screwdriver in there and move the gears around forward and aft. that usually unjammes them. If that's what's wrong anyway.
