Good news!!! I will be able to sell the flanges for the original price of $495/pair!!! I just have to invest in 10 sets so I will have 5 sets sitting on my shelf - hopefully they will sell or I will be out a lot of money. My cost for 5 sets was $630/pair because the cost of splining is the same for 10 parts or 20 parts. I will start the ball rolling next week. I will still need prepayment for the parts as I don't have that kind of money laying around. Steve PM sent. No PM back with a PayPal address. Did you get my message? ME TOO! Please let me know how much and where/how to send it. |

Guys look at the suby cv's and check out the dust covers on the inside for the tranny seals. Spunone makes some nice aluminum dust covers that press on the magic flanges to shield the tranny seals.

The flanges are almost ready to head out to have the splines cut. I also am having the locking coupler and cover plate quoted, should know the cost pretty soon. With the dollar in the toilet the Ausi parts are very expensive these days.

I can't believe it - I sold all 10 pairs of flanges! I guess I will have to start up another list.

I visited the shop today. Parts should return from the broaching place on Friday. Then just a clean up and off to the coater for the black oxide finish and they are DONE. I should be able to ship them sometime next week.

Udpate - just got this today.
"Steve, Two apologies, first your email was shunted to my “spam” folder so I just now am viewing it. Secondly, your parts are not back from broacher because we haven’t finished lot run quantity. We are finishing today. I will be at broacher on Monday. I will coordinate with Butch to time of completion. I have customers I can visit in that area so if broacher can finish the order and be done in the same day I will pick up and bring back same day. The heat treat will be another day and black anodize is two days. If all goes to this plan you will have completed parts by Thu/Friday. I will endeavor to keep you posted by event completion. Our production schedule was pressed behind by a week about 2 weeks ago and we have been scrambling to play catch up. Your parts fell into the cracks. Definitely my fault. Please don’t kick my ass too hard, I really don’t have much of it left. I will stay in touch." |

Have you seen my blog? Not the best pictures but the transmission is in pretty much the correct location. I will be making the prototype mounts pretty soon - I hope.

cool!, i hope some of you guys get a working car soon! using the subaru transmission, hopefully a good write up on it too Well you are in luck! The online 914 magazine wants me to do a full writeup so I will be fully documenting the swap. I do this type of thing for a living (writing technical documents) so it should be pretty good - especially with some professional editing. Steve |

I wish I knew what stock trans is the 'best' one. I will have more of an idea once I get my car on the road. I imagine that NA and Turbo will be different. We will see soon.

Best to get an RA one with a front LSD I guess:
Subaru transmission info link Front because the front will drive the rears.. ( I have an RA one without LSD, anyone know of a good one I can put in? ) |
