I am looking around, what other mid engine trannies are out there???
Toyota MR2 , probably easy to get at a junk yard NSX Not so easy to get Ferrari , unobtanium Boxter 914 What else? I know the MR2 and the NSX are both trying paddle shifting autos... Just want to find a better solution. Could a jag tranny or even a 928 tranny fit reasonably well? How about Heiland (sp) I am not sure if that is even the name, but I have seen them on small openwheel racers... rich |

Once you get into "Be able to handle long drawn out burn outs", and 450+HP, the transaxle choices become pretty slim AND expensive. The 930 is a good choice, not hugely expensive, good ratio's, plenty of adapters, needs flipped ring gear (with machining), or run up-side-down (with minor mod's). ZF takes the cost issue to the next level, as does the G50, and so on (Mendeola, Fortin, EMCO, Quaife). The Audi stuff will very likely never withstand that burn-out thing. The GT40 replica guys are putting 400HP or so thru the 016, but you must be nice to it. That said, you can probably find an ample supply of them in the junk yards for cheap, but I don't see the point. May as well stick with your supply of 901's. Transaxle longevity depends much on your driving style, and it sounds as if you're looking for throwing some pretty severe pounding at it. No M22's or Top Loader's in this catagory. Andy |
