    2D Mid-Engine Modifications Needed?

    If buying a used trans that was previously set up for rear engine, the diff/ring gear would need to be swapped for proper rotation. Not a hard job, but worth knowing the basics about gear mesh and how to check preload and backlash, then make adjustments as needed. I don't know of anyone making...

    LS clutch problems Help!

    Call Ron at Weddle at e-mail him those pictures. This could be part of a batch of clutch's that would stick a little. He can explain the issue and get you sorted out.

    Turbo Honda 2D or S4

    Standard S4/S5 with 10" R&P would be fine for that power. You really only need the 11.5" R&P when you go north of 600 HP/TQ.

    Turbo Honda 2D or S4

    550 HP with a 2D would make anyone a good customer for me. S5 would be the ticket for this package. I challenge anyone to say they feel the extra weight/power loss with the bigger trans. We run these in Class 10 cars with sealed Ecotec's at 185 HP to the tire. S4 or S5 would allow to run that...

    LS clutch problems Help!

    The idea with holding the clutch in after shifting into first then back into neutral is that the input shaft (and reverse gears) stop spinning once you shift into first, making it a little easier to get the reverse gear teeth mesh. Once you let the clutch pedal out, the input shaft (and...

    LS clutch problems Help!

    Reverse is somewhat the same issue as first, but kind of worse in a way since you are literally grinding the gear teeth to engage reverse, where all of the other gears are dog engagement. There is no easy (cheap) solution to fix that. It sound a lot worse than the damage it causes, but it does...

    LS clutch problems Help!

    A few questions: 1. Did you check the release point on the clutch pedal when you were adjusting the pedal stop? 2. With the engine running and clutch pedal depressed while in gear, did the car want to roll? Something to keep in mind with the larger 10.4" and 11" clutch is they have a lot more...

    New car build

    Not one call to the phone on this topic? Jeez, drop the major trans supplier from your screen name and everyone forgets about you. Don't worry, I'm still here to help when needed. It all depends on how far you want to go with the 632. Here are the basics: Weddle S4/S5 (10" R&P) are really only...

    Excessive Clutch dust with dual disc?

    That would be an excessive amount in my opinion.

    Mendeola 2d input shaft movement

    There should be very little in and out movement of the input shaft. .012" is probably a bit excessive, I would say .005" would be the max that I would be comfortable with. This in and out movement is from the mainshaft ball bearing in the front nosecone. Ball bearings will always have a little...

    091 to 2D swap ?'s

    If its difficult to pull out of gear while running, that can be a symptom of a clutch hanging up and not allowing the parts inside the trans to unload and pull out of gear. The clutch pedal only needs to travel 3"-4" to disengage the clutch. If you are pushing the pedal it's full travel, which...

    Finally broke my Albins after 7 seasons

    $20k-$25k all said and done to convert synchromesh to sequential. Mounts the same, install sequential shifter and run cable. Fab work is the cheap part.

    091 to 2D swap ?'s

    Have you checked the clutch pedal release point? (put car in gear, jack one rear tire off ground, push pedal down and have someone rotate tire in the air, set clutch pedal stop once tire releases with clutch pedal travel) Does the car want to move while in gear with engine running and clutch...

    Shifter cable offset

    You could probably make a spacer out of a longer bolt and some small tubing between the cable rod end and shift arm. There wouldn't be much flex if any. You just need to make sure the bolt and nuts stay tight or your shifting will not work right and can damage the dogs on the gears. Loctite and...

    Finally broke my Albins after 7 seasons

    The problem with the H-pattern synchronized Albins is they have stopped inventorying these specific gears and small parts. Weddle keeps a small selection of "standard" gear ratio's on the shelf, but if the ratio you need is out of stock at Weddle, you could be waiting for Albins to make new...

    Big Shout Out to the New Mendi Shift Mech

    Keep in mind you will need to replace your dash display (if equipped), or reprogram the gear position settings on a digital dash. Gen 3 output voltages are different than Gen 1/Gen 2.

    10/31 Havasu Fright Night

    We started at the top of McCulloch and made it down to McKee's where my 5 year olds bucket was full, then turned around. Crazy how many people were out.

    Big Shout Out to the New Mendi Shift Mech

    Most everyone notices a positive difference over the Gen1/Gen2 mechanism. Ron and Tyler at Weddle put a lot of work into making sure they work like they should.
