If you are referring to the new DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission), yes and no. Those are half sequential and half automatic. But they still utilize ECU management to shift them. The new trans in the Can-Am works the same way as these. Our gearboxes/transaxles are actually quite antiquated in...

I think I've received enough calls from the sand community about No-Lift-Shift over the past few years that it deserves a thread here. No-lift-shift or Flat-Shift is nothing new to the motorsports world. It has been utilized in high performance racing applications since the 70's. Since the...

Weddle purchased the "offroad" line of transaxles from Mendeola, while they retained the rights to their own road based sequential and H-pattern transaxles (The sequential is actually the same as the S5 but using their in house straight cut gears). There was never anything that said we...

Will have a new car in the booth this year. New builder into the sand car world. S5D with paddle shifters.

Some non-offroad content for you guys. Weddle HV-25 in this 750 HP Superformance GT40 replica with a 351W. We started working with Downforce Motorsports out of South Carolina a few years back as they needed some heavy duty transaxles to get these cars on the road/track. This is the test mule...

Got a car with a Weddle HV-24/HV-25 in it?  We want your thoughts, opinions, good, bad, all of it. We have a few hundred of these floating around now, and want to gather some information from those of you that are actually putting miles on them.  Tell me what kind of car you have, what engine...

Did you have Rancho upgrade to the Gen 3 shift mechanism? If so, there will be a different sensor on the trans that will no longer with your existing display, the voltages are different from the early Gen 1/Gen 2 units. If you have the new Gen 3 shift mechanism, you will either need to replace...

I only care about the one on top at the very front of the trans. This hits directly on top of 4th gear and splashes the mainshaft bearing. No need for a split as the pictures show. Get oil to the front of the trans/mainshaft bearing. 

The term "sequential" refers to the fact the gears in this type of gearbox are shifted sequentially from neutral to the high gear. You cannot select neutral between gears, nor can you skip a gear, like shifting from 4th to 2nd for instance. They operate much like a motorcycle transmission...

A common question. What is the difference between sequential and synchromesh (or H-pattern) shifting gearboxes? I will almost always recommend a synchronized gearbox to the recreational user, or to anyone that plans on having multiple people drive their car. Synchronized H-pattern gearboxes are...

This is the likely cause. Reverse idler gear could have slipped out of the pin that throws it back and forth to engage into reverse with the 1-2 slider, and is now "floating" between 1st/2nd gears, and caught/engaged on the 1-2 slider which means it is engaged in reverse. Once you shift into...

Here are some examples of why you should spend some money on transmission and differentials. Spend a little now to prevent the failure, or spend a lot later after it breaks. Polaris and Arctic Cat high gears, and Can Am front diff gears/housing.  (Someone smarter than me can rotate the...

Was a "professional?" shop wrench for about 9 years before becoming the resident transaxle "expert?" here on GD.com.  Ordered up the first model year Trek Slash 9 back in 2011 while still working in a shop in Santa Barbara (waited 3 months for it, back when waiting for anything more than a few...

Update: Talked to RJ momentarily about his dual brake pedal in the Pro2 truck which is not how I assumed it worked. Only runs rear brake or all 4 depending on what pedal is pushed.  Turns out, all you need is a 410 spec motor and a light rear end to get the thing to turn. Whood a thunk it? He...

https://weddleindustries.com/gear-calculator https://weddleindustries.com/sites/weddleindustries.com/files/downloads/Current Gear Availability 4-1-21.pdf There are a few ways to sort out what gear ratio will work for your specific application. Most trans builders tend to work with a "common"...

This will be my last post in this thread. Jed, If that was the case, we would typically see larger chunks of material broken off of the other gears, as well as heavy impressions in the gear tooth face from the bits of broken gear that have been crushed between the gears. Pictures are attached...

Volkwagen Type 2 (Bus) Transaxles: The Type 2 (Bus) transaxle is actually spread across many variations and years of production. There are three common variations used in off-road buggy's. All Type 2 transaxles can typically handle around 250 HP at the crank when fully built with aftermarket...

The official thread for all transaxle related FAQ's and basic information. There is lots of mis-information floating around on the internet, hopefully this one thread will be able to inform all readers and give the correct information.  I'll start it off with some basic info on each Weddle...
