Looking for 1985-up VW water-cooled syncro 4WD transmission. Unusable cores considered! (place-holder for fabrication). Jim in Pittsburgh,Pa. jimp007at Verizonnet |

Good Luck with the search.. They are really hard to find. You might want to try Samba as well. Just wondering, what are you going to do with it? Is if for a van or a project? |

I am designing accessories for all buggy applications. I need a syncro transmission so that I can produce a CAD model as well as test out my products. I will be starting a new thread on this website soon. Do you have a syncro 094 unit to sell or donate? Can we move the Q&A to a new thread and leave this thread open to offers? |

How much you paying? I have, repairable [needs 3/4 hub] or one with hole in gear carrier. Also one good but model without locker. |

I started an offroad 4wd buggy thread (transmissions)and I will be documenting a new build with alot of pictures. (hopefully). See ya in the spring @ Wellsville. |

I called them about their Vanagons a while back. They said that they only have 2WD. Thanks! |

Jim, might also want to consider Subaru. There is a reversed 4:86 ring and pinion available. I know this build I'm doing now is the last I'll do with a VW trans. |

I am with you Mike... When I blow up my 6rib, I will most likely go to a Subaru. Although, I have not see a lot of off road examples and I am a little worried since the R&P is so small. |

Stock Subie will handle 280hp a properly prepared box will handle 650hp according to these guys. http://www.subarugears.com/ |

When I spoke with them last year, they were a little concerned about running 35 inch tires. Now that they have the 4.86 gears, the suby trans should be fine with 35 inch tires. |

They are a little pricey.. For comparison, what does it cost to buy all Weddle gears, a german super diff and have the trans rebuilt? |

Shipping is ridiculous. I got a set of wheel adapters from China a few years ago for $11 apiece. Custom made. Customs held ransom on them for $90. Between shipping and customs, I lost my tail. |

Still cheaper to use a Subie that I would build myself. $2,000 plus the cost of a 5 speed trans verses $6500 for an entry level MD4E Mendeola. At that rate I could scatter 2 Subie set ups and still not have the same coin as a Mendeola. I know the next question is which is stronger. I have no idea but I do know this, a stock Subie trans is designed to hold up to 280hp. A stock VW box was designed to stand up to what, 100hp max? http://ranchotransaxles.com/mendeola-transaxles.html Sorry for the hijack Jim, we got carried away here. |

Mike I knew you would chime in on this one. I think the Subie trans built domestically could be the answer, but I don't want to be the guy experimenting. I did that with VW trans building got a lot of practice pulling the buggy apart and talking dirty Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I may be that guy thinking of making a new buggy. Just know looking into it. Anyone knows if I can put my ecotec on one or will I need to stay with a subie? |

Subaru gears already has an American distributor down south somewhere. I have looked into them as well. That saves on the shipping hassle. The last time I was on their site they only advertised a 4.4:1 r&p. 4.86 would be nice. |

I only ever see synchro transmissions on ebay for huge $$$... and Colorado... but they were all still in vans driving around. Must have seen 15 synchro vans in a week out there... |

The last time I was on their site they only advertised a 4.4:1 r&p. 4.86 would be nice. They now have a 4.86 R&P, that's the main reason running a Subie trans becomes doable for what we do. If they have a US distributor, it's a real closely guarded national secret. If they had one, I doubt they would list shipping to the US. |
