Hand Packed bearings and slick shift

[fastback]

i remeber reading that too somewhere.

yes al of the ZF's i have used in my 091 comes from 094.
i have never come over a 091 with ZF in it, yet.
so curious if the have the same partnumber .

The pyramid case is my favorite, too. The material seems consistent on these, whereas some of the 091 cases seem soft. But the mixing of reverse idlers & idler shafts can be tricky, so usually easiest to stay with 091 case when using 091 gears/sleeves. Half the time, main cases require resleeving.

There are 2 (at least) differences between 6 rib cases. One has wider ribs on top and should be stronger.

long time no update .
been busy building a new engine after a rodbolt failure..
but before the disaster i got 3-4 runs and the tranny seemed to work good but did not get any good times before i got a big opening in my crankcase

so got the new engine ready for the last race this season ,last weekend @ kjula Dragway Sweden
And the tranny works SO much better with the slick shift and other mod's!
The engine performed well also , and managed a couple of very good runs with my split bus
12.19@187 km/h and PB [email protected]/h
there is more in it, by harder launches etc .but the the racing was over for my class
can't wait until nexy season
so thx once again for the advice and help!

Excellent. Thanks for the feedback. Drag busses are certainly spectator favorites, so please keep us informed of your improved times.

Hi Fastback!

Im also beefing up my tranny and have bought a 3/4 Hd hub from Weddle. I havent test mounted the hub yet, but i was woundering what you did with your hub. Did you return it and gots a new one or did you use the the one you got?

Hi. i did not use it.
it goes back for replacement

[streetvwnorth]

Have you spoken to Weddle about the bad fitting? I thougt that Weddle was a company that took quality serious and checked carefully every part before shipping to customers. What is your explanition to the bad fitting? Wrong part or bad processing?

[fastback]

i had the dialouge with the dealer as i did not buy directly from weddle
we' have agreed that i return it.

[streetvwnorth]

I teard down my gerabox today and it was the same for me. I could place the hub on the shaft by hand with a slight pressure. I have e-malied Weddle about this and i will come back to you when i got a answer.

[streetvwnorth]

This is the answer i got from Weddle.

It should be no problem at all. A lot of gearboxes have slip fit spline parts. Both pieces are hardened so they will not really wear. As long as there is little or no play, we would have no problem running it that way.

How did all this work out, fastback?
