Hi Volks,
My transaxle, 2wd 86 westy 243k miles 091 transaxle , is making more
noise than I care to listen to. I have tried synthetic oil and it makes it
shift easier and very smooth but still has a lot of whine when under load.
I want to / plan to purchase most all the bearings, synchronizer
rings, synchronizer keys, reverse slider gear and from many posts Todd Hill
has me convinced the 3 rd / 4th gear synchronizer hub should be replaced,
thanks Todd. So where are the best prices on transaxle parts ?
I prefer doing my own work and have some experience with the 091
transaxle on a 78 westy and feel that experience will serve me well on the
86. While in there it would be nice to install a little taller rear end, in
the 4.50 to 4.40 would be neat. tia for any help with my quest.
