A#1 The center distance on our transaxle is much larger than any other transaxle allowing us to place all the shifting elements on the primary shaft. That is where they belong.


A#2 Depending on the application Bonneville for instance all the ratios in the transmission were overdriven to get the desired speed 400 plus mph with a 31 inch tire a 2.29 gear ratio and a KB 1671 blown 510 cid engine. In this case there was not a taller final drive gear made (2.08 and 2.13 very rare) for a 12 bolt.

In any design there is a compromise. To get the low (granny gear) and the top speed (using an existing transaxle) you will need an overdrive. If you are designing from scratch you try not to do that.

Thanks.

In the WFA the Pinion is driven by the (secondary) shaft direct, no quick change.

It is a two shaft transaxle. Input/primary shaft to secondary shaft to diff.

I recently redesigned the tail portion of the WFA to be a 5-speed, ground helical, double cone syncro in all 5 speeds and reverse. We made the parts as a joint collaboration between us and RBT. It is now known as the WHT.

I got to this site from the R in RBT...

Ian, The question sounded familiar.
