"First off - Axles. *I now have two plunging axles that seem to be working correctly and well. *After the second axle finally made it back I had a long talk with the actual engineer that designed them and it was decided to let them float fully in the CVs - no clips other than on the ends. *Since the spines on each end of the axle shafts are pretty much just like the splines on a regular solid (or hollow) axle it will allow them to plunge in the CV inner stars and not hurt anything. *The CV boots are stiff enough, they help keep everything in place too.

I put what I'm guessing is about 50 miles out in the dunes on the car - the axles survived so far."

This is after he busted the axle at Baldwin.

Sorry to hear about the quicky rebuild on your 091. A lot of guys do something else during the day and play with VW stuff out of their garages on the weekend. If you need anything else try Arizona Transaxle. They are VW, Mendeola,Albins, and PBS dealers and have been doing nothing but transaxles for almost 30 years.Talk to Bill he knows his stuff and does an awesome job.

Like most things in my history I only get screwed once and then I buy whatever is necessary to prevent it from happening again.I'll buy the setup jigs and do my own from now on.

Yes they'd work but they are very heavy.1/2 of their weight would be counted as unsprung.Not good IMO. Don't want/feel the need for the 2 piece slipshaft "fuse" on those either.

I was too busy today to get DOnsbusbox a call today but I did have time to determine tonight that I will use the 091 flipped on its' back in a mid engine setup.Doing so though makes it necessary to go to the dreaded uj axles I am not fond of but if that's what I have to do it's what I have to do.  WHat are your preferences in shafts?

Fabr-

What made you want to go with the 091?

Tons of available ratios,ability to use it as an underdrive unit after the busa tranny.strongest R&P of the vw trans,time conservation for this build,etc..

Mastr,

Long as this is shaping up to be the ultimate build, how about trying some of these and getting stupiiiioooood long travel for your buggy?
