Title: Keeping a "Type1" swingaxle case alive..? Post by: Erlend / bug66 on August 20, 2017, 19:54:24 pm Is there a good thread out there?
Alunimium house I presume.. Big or small gussets? Steel plates and bolts to hold the side plates? Help wanted.. Snapped a gearbox in two..

Post by: Erlend / bug66 on August 21, 2017, 14:36:22 pm Wow that's some breakage :o Been reading up on t2 boxes as they are stronger. What is the set up of the car? Let's see. Full weight 67 bug. 400whp / 535nm to the wheels. Stage 4 + black magic hydraulic clutch management KCR built box on gusseted mag case, full weddle internals included what was an Weddle R&P... Rhino case and bolted sideplates next.. Title: Re: Keeping a "Type1" swingaxle case alive..? Post by: Neil Davies on August 21, 2017, 17:36:30 pm Might be time to step up to a bus box. I'm sure Richie will be along shortly, but he was in a similar place back in the early '00's and he did a box virtually identical to yours.
It does mean IRS, but thats no bad thing really! Title: Re: Keeping a "Type1" swingaxle case alive..? Post by: Udo on August 22, 2017, 12:57:12 pm For this you need a bus box with folts or rancho axles. We just got one from rancho. Complete with IRS to swing axles

Post by: modnrod on August 25, 2017, 13:19:13 pm Is there such a thing available as a staged lock-up clutch (like on my bike...... http://www.mtceng.com/index.php/technical-information/7-clutch-differences )?
Title: Re: Keeping a "Type1" swingaxle case alive..? Post by: NoBars on September 02, 2017, 01:22:39 am Is there such a thing available as a staged lock-up clutch (like on my bike...... http://www.mtceng.com/index.php/technical-information/7-clutch-differences )? Rev6. It's actually more similar to a gen2 multistage than a lockup or multistage as the weights are on the engine side of the clutch, not the input shaft side.
