I wonder

Today I looked under a M/benz mb1400 comercial van.
It has a transaxle.
It is a fairly solid looking unit but that does not mean anything.
It is made by sang yong??.
Does anyone know anything about these boxes.

Jim

Re: I wonder

Jim,
I think it may be the same box that is used in Renault commercial vehicles, but I may be wrong.

I did some poking around on the web and came up empty.

Re: I wonder

This is out of Merc van
Another shop gave me this today as they were going to throw it out so I thought I would have a look before that happened.

I have not checked the ratios yet.
Diff is 3.98:1
The gears look narrow 15mm wide.

Re: I wonder

That's interesting, can you post a couple more pics, some closer shots of the diff from a couple of different angles and a good look at the main shaft?
