wtb 4S transaxle (BC Canada)
« on: May 23, 2013, 06:39:19 pm »
I'm looking for a good running 4S (or equivalent ratio) transaxle for a 1.6td (MF) I am almost finished rebuilding. Prefer SW BC but willing to travel ~500kms for a good unit.

Cheers!

I used to run a 4S in my 1.6td and I would recommend using an ACN or equivalent instead. Just my opinion. I found it had a better spread and more efficient 5th ratio as well it is easier to find.

Thanks for that. I would indeed be happy to lay hands on an ACN, but will take anything that matches a 4S or "better". 7D would be good too.

I have dealt with Eric before when I needed a fuel pump asap. But I can wait this time. I'm not in a huge rush.

Cheers!
