Mendeola 2D4S-091 Ring And Pinion

Not a Tranny guy but was the early original stuff it’s own trans or does this stuff work in the current e box ?

Good question! I am not really sure but I will find out. I was always under the impression these parts were only for the first run 2Ds.

 
Looks to be a E-box r&p. The heads were welded to a VW shaft.

My understanding is the original stuff was it’s own transaxle and used 091 based gear sets. E box is based on 002 gear sets and later versions of the 2D used gear sets unique to itself. None are interchangeable.  The parts I have for sale would be useful to someone who has an early box and needs parts for a rebuild. This would save changing the gear carrier , machine work and new gear sets necessary for the upgrade to later model design. Even if you wanted to upgrade parts are in short supply.

These parts are for what could be called a "Gen 1 MD4-2D". The original 2D was built with 091 1st-4th gears. The pinion shaft from an 091 was cut off, and then welded to the 10" R&P. The modern 2D is a "Gen 2" of this one, where they now have a wider 2nd/3rd gear, and larger input shaft to mainshaft coupling. 

None of these will work for a common 2D trans, nor an E-box.

The R&P is very much specific to that "GEN 1 2D" trans with 091 gears. There are still a few of these out there running around. The right buyer will need to see this ad, then it will be sold.

The 1st/2nd gears pictured would work in a standard 091 trans. These are not Weddle gears, although they were made by Albins for our competitor at the time.
