What size tires do u run. Are you going to put a
4 spider diff in it and what kind of riding do you do
Trail or hill climbs

If you're going to put all that money in it, why wouldn't you just pick up an 091 for $400 somewhere?

Go up to Canada and get a side shift 5 speed with a 483 and a 411 1st and 233 2nd.The final drive multiplied will pull like a 526. A 486 5 speed will pull like a 530.Lots a meat in that trans.

What is this 5 speed you're describing? I've never heard of it. Sounds interesting to me, especially if 5th is an overdrive. I could use that for the street in my buggy and still have a solid 1st and 2nd. Is it an 094?

This.....

OR, just take the several thousand dollar trip to canada to hunt for a trans. That would make much more sense! :lol:

I know a couple guys that are running a 3 rib with weddle stuff and they have been tough as nails. I myself run a 5 rib with all weddle gears and a 5.38 ring and pinion. Mine has worked great until yesterday, I broke a tooth off a spider gear. Where I broke it at any tranny built would have broke. I say build it, it will hold fine. I have a very hot 2386 against mine and it takes it.

It is an 094, has a lower 1st gear added to the nose area next to the reverse gear, no overdrive gear.
Same as a syncro 4wd trans, just the pinion shaft is shorter and does not couple to a front diff.

it all depends on the driver!!! I have seen v-8's pushing 3 ribs and hold up, and I've seen 1600's break 6 ribs.
