I have a 74 914, the 901 trans in this car is a sidehifter (73-76)
I donīt believe that is a good idea for a bug.
The linkage attaches to the left side of the trans and you will need to change the satelite (this trans is for mid engine )

You will need a 911,912 901 trans that have the shifter mechanism in the tail like the bug and is already for rear engine.
you will need 901 pressure plate,clutch and trow out bearing,911,912,914 starter or you can use newer 1.5 hp starter.
You can use bus flywheel , 914 ype 4 flywheel or 912e 76 (type4) flywheel.

regards
