The ring gear backlash tool will not work/fit on a type 4. The type 4 is totally different.
As for those other two tools, they appear to be....the smaller one is a shift rod coupler jig. Marginally useful...but useful nonetheless. The other part i can think of nothing it would fit on inside of these trannys. The splinned hub piece may fit on an output shaft...or perhaps on the pinion shaft...but, I would not really be interested in just those two tools..except for sheer type 4 interest sake. ...if they are type 4.

They should show the complete kit if they have it.....which I doubt. Thats about $10k worth of tools. The pinion shaft mandrels and the torque rotation device....hell yeah...if they had one. Ray

they have some other tools listed for sale but none specifically for Type 4. Thanks for the info Ray, I would have sure hated for someone to have wasted their monies on those!

It may be worth it to e-mail and ask what other stuff they have.
