Gene since you already have a buggy with an inline mounted busa and a POS TW unit this should be of real interest to you.Could be the end of your troubles.

You're right of course, it would be a slam dunk to change it over. I agree that an 091 based diff would have been a better starting point.

I talked to Eric at TW this week. It should be done soon. When it comes back it will have a newly designed case made from aluminum rather than magnesium, beefier shift fork assembly for forward/reverse, 300M billet input shaft used in 091 transaxles and I think a thrust bearing in the back of the case. It has Weddle gears and a Super Diff already.

The aluminum sidecase made for your application is a thoughtful piece of work and the flex coupler is beautiful. Engineer's work is impressive and of course it makes me salivate with desire to have those pieces for my ride.

On the coupler I've seen the U-joint conversion used by the Lo Cost (SP?) sports car crowd. Did you consider that as a possibility assuming there would be enough distance between diff and engine to utilize two UJ's?

That was too short an answer. I want the cushion drive not for alignment purposes since that is all taken care of otherwise.I feel the cushion Is a necessity for the durability of the transaxle and the busa trans also. Anytime you can lessen shock loads the better IMO.

Okay......

progress report... I am 6 hours into this part, my bandaw chewed on it for about 2 hours to get it to a size that would fit in my vices.  Between revisions, my wife on the phone, other projects showing up, and programing, here is the progress.   ;D


I have even resisted reading DTSFAB.com which is pretty darn tough.

I do hear a machine running in the shop, so I will report back in a bit.
