Thanks for the weddle info. As to the German only bearing thing. I agree that chinese are suspect at best and complete trash likely according to everything I have seen. But why not others made by reputable manufacturers? The 091 bearings aren't bastard sizing are they? Special/non standard availability?

Reverse gear that can be up graded to the Weddle racing is the 15 tooth gear that mates to the 40 tooth 1st/2nd slider. That gear costs $45. That gear slides on the reverse jack shaft. 8) 8) 8)

As far as I know nobody else makes these bearings. All I will use in the transaxles that I build are the German/Weddle bearings and have had no problems that way. IMO it makes no sense reinventing the wheel. 8) 8) 8)

Notice anything missing?????? Donsbusbox at it's finest. These 2 pics are from immediately after removing the nosecone . It clearly shows the absence of the crescent key that prevents the bearing from spinning in the case. The other pic shows the absence of the 2 springs and bracket that centers the shift bar.  thumb down thumb down thumb down thumb down.  Then there's the completely fubar reverse gear he put back in it. Pic is poor. I'll put up a better one.

It does have weddle race 1-4. Plastic races on everything but pinion bearings. Gonna get a set of new bearings,snap rings ,seals , missing pieces,aluminum intermediate ,weddle reverse and might just as well get a weddle race r&p while it's apart.

$3200 minus core = approx $2600 for a donsjunk or $5K ish for an ALL NEW COMPONENTS but for  the bellhousing Weddle. Add the Weddle r&p to the 2600 and you got $3600 vs $5K. Add in the cost of replacing junk and missing components ,and I have a very expensive POS. Well over $4K. Another $1K and I'd have had a HIGH QUALITY 091 with NO issues.

Prob only reason its lasted is lack of torque from Busa.  Hell til just recently you couldnt even use reverse w/o gettin out to manual shift.  As you now are gettin it dialed in, trans would prob let go soon.

Hows the coupler look?  Any wear stress?
