I think the needle bearings are ok to use (I am sure there are a few that would dis-agree with that), but certainly not as good as the sealed bearing. Just make sure the bearing is well greased and the seal is installed to the outside of the crank so it seals the bearing.

There are a lot of factors that go into how far each clutch pedal will need to travel to dis-engage the clutch. Length of pedal Master cylinder bore size Slave cylinder External arm length at bell housing How much soft/flex line is used Since every car is typically built with a a variation of...

As someone who has worked on the same bench with him, I fully disagree with this statement. Maybe that says something about my mechanical knowledge. Think what you will. I don't agree with everything he thinks/does, but he has some really good idea's. I would say his only downfall is not...

Even the highest end sand cars are a hodge-podge of various quality parts. This is a world of generalities.

Depends on the length of the pedal, but yes for all combinations.

Yes. Happens all the time. Clutch pedal should only need to move about 3-4" to dis-engage. Most pedals have way too much travel.

The diff gears (spider and side gears) are rarely an issue in the S4/S4D. They are actually the same exact gears in a Fortin open diff for reference. It's one of the only dis-advantages of the S4D against an Albins as the AGB has the planetary "Torsen" diff that is really strong, and has some...

This is a pretty good deal. Unfortunately I am not in the market to buy right now, otherwise I'd jump on it.

I hate to say it, but you're going to need a new transaxle!

This is what you need for a 2D. (The S4 adapter and Albins T/O won't work on a 2D as it's a larger diameter inner guide sleeve) https://weddleindustries.com/products/113-141-165-B/113-141-165-B

Weddle/Mendeola sequential will typically be substantially cheaper to repair/service when the time comes. And more shops are willing to work on them.

Stab them with a sharp pick or small flat screwdriver.

I need a surface grinder bad! Found a few old ass six-twelve deluxe units in Pomona, but they still want $2500+ for them. Was hoping to find something $1500 or less. Was going to call you one day when I needed to surface down a pinion depth spacer for an Albins, but figured you might be...

I dropped off a 2D for the Funco on Monday, almost had to put a sweatshirt on inside that shop. Those 3 split units crank out some cold air.

Can I lock in the same offer for 2 years from now when I'm somewhat caught up and ready to buy?

Title says it all. I am looking for an old dash display with wiring loom for Albins sequential transaxle. Maybe you installed a nice fancy digital dash and have a ball of wires with display sitting in a box in the corner of the garage. I will happily offer some money for that ball of wires and...

Will likely be the first one in 13 years that I will miss. I've had to miss my oldest' birthday parties every year for 6 years as it's on the 18th. I think we'll stay here in Havasu this year and celebrate with her as a family.

You now need these 2 parts: https://weddleindustries.com/products/CL-165/CL-165 https://weddleindustries.com/products/SC-00170A/SC-00170A As John said above, you only need to purchase the "Adapter" once, then replace the bearing as needed.

Paddle shifters require some sort of throttle blip on downshifts to "throw" the dogs out of the gear they are in so they will unload and shift into the next gear. Upshift is somewhat easy as far as "detuning" with fuel/ignition cut to cut the torque load on the gears. What can happen is the...
