any possibility of a disconnect for the 4WD, disconnecting the drive shaft, is the reverse a 2d or s4 style gear?

John@Outfront Mtrsprts
Feb 21 2009, 07:06 PM
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?

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.Click to view attachment"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.

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
