Has one been sold yet

Victor, can you PM me about my parts i sent you
John@Outfront Mtrsprts
any possibility of a disconnect for the 4WD, disconnecting the drive shaft, is the reverse a 2d or s4 style gear?
JDMeister
ph34r.gif Rear external clutch option? sraptor.gif
John@Outfront Mtrsprts
The current VW Syncro has a viscus clutch in the driveshaft, if there was a disconnect, you could remove the viscus clutch and run a straight driveshaft. do you know if you have the same R&P as the VW Syncro? do you have several R&P available?

What is going on with this gear box?
wouldn't this be the box to replace the 2d instead of giving the 2d a reverse?

The LQ is now in its second production and available in the U.S.
I have the second run order now and it has won several championships in Europe.
Also the U.S. short course racers have stepped up and ordered a handful for the super buggies class.

"wouldn't this be the box to replace the 2d instead of giving the 2d a reverse?"

The answer to this is going to be up to the sand car customers, but it is possible.

It will be designated for Class 10 and current short course where rules allow.
The six speed version is designed with larger shaft centers, and with gears that are ranged size wise between the MD5 and S4.
It 's holding up so far in the European rally's with similar car platform.

Does this trans make sense for 2wd applications or is it primary for AWD? What would you recommend for class 10 2wd with ecotec?

This trans will do ether 2wd or AWD
Class 10 would be 2wd. we are working with some teams that want to run the ecotec platform in class 10.

Has anyone put this new trans in a 10 car yet? Will this shift and feel the same as a s5? Do you have some sort of comparison chart for a S5 and LQ5? If yes can you put me in contact with them.

The advantages are:
larger gears with larger spaced shaft center.
larger reverse
faster shifting capabilities
6 speed for high revving motors with tight power bands
All Wheel Drive capabilities.
Transaxle rating is dependent on platform of the car to be placed in.
4 speed = 450hp
5 and 6 speed =300hp
