The Transaxle Thread

[Icky]

Red loctite on CV bolts.

CLEAN threads on bolt and flange thoroughly. Like a whole can of carb/brake cleaner clean.

I use qtips( baby type ) and brake cleaner, very tedious

Pretty sure it hasn’t been brought up in this thread so here we go.

Is ths Md5 still a thing?

Logistics of converting a 2d 4 speed to a md5?

Are the gears skinnier?

Less durable?

Brainstorming for a 400hp Subaru car that might turn to 500 in the off season, and interested in stretching the legs out a little

Car gets duned pretty hard so being cautious about durability

Have you considered the PBS sequential that CEK has for sale on here ?

The MD5 is mostly obsolete as of now. Parts are no longer being made for them, specifically R&P's and 1st/2nd main shafts. They will eventually die off.

There are few short course racers that still use them, but they don't burn through the specific MD5 parts that fast.

Best option to replace a 2d with a 5 speed would be going to an S5 sequential, or Weddle HV-25 if you prefer the H-pattern shifting.
