Subject:New transaxle options
From:Harry Hoffman

Hi All,

So, I'm currently investigating new transaxles.

Bus Depot offers one from Rancho Performance, which from their website
seem to offer some options for better highway gearing. They also seem to
do alot of racing rigs and prices seem fair starting around 1100.00

There's Daryl (sp?) from AA transaxle, who from the mailing list
archives is well regarded. His prices are also pretty fair starting at
1095.00

And Gowesty, who refurb the transaxles themselves. They are a bit more
expensive at 1400.00.

Anyone have experiences with any of these vendors?

All come with a core charge (refundable) and shipping costs. BD is
driving distance from me so that would, presumably, save me some coin of
crate/shipping.

Cheers,
Harry
