I THINK the type1 tranny will work - but if not then a Bus tranny will - if it was a T4 (411, 412) then I'm pretty sure you'd need to use a bus tranny - you'll have to change the pedals, install the shifter linkage (may or may not be the same as a bug - can't recall - it's been about 30 years since I worked on a T3) and do some other stuff -
