Title: Working with 100 mm drive flanges
Post by: Dakotakid on March 20, 2009, 10:55:05 pm
Why are 100 mm flanges so much harder to remove from the output stub shafts on these 020's?????

Are they more closely toleranced or what??????
I mean....90's pretty much leap off the shafts as soon as you release the circlip and spring. Every 100 I have worked with pretty much needed to be pulled.
What am I NOT seeing here?????

Never done tranny work on these cars but you'd think it would come out just the same.. they have to be the same dimensions or they wouldnt be swappable right? WEIRD

Theman, Where in the world do you get all the interesting avatar pictures?? LMAO You should use this one: A little Scarlett Johansen anyone? :)

I got most from the internet searching for people/things that I like. The avitar I have now is actually all my fault. We had 6 of the neighbors cows get out and went crazy. She couldn't get them back onto a trailer so I pastured them for 3 months and she gave me 1/2 of one for it. I wacked it out with my .50 cal and butchered it. When I sawed the head off I thought that it looked too cool just sitting there so I took a pic...it was on my myspace for a long time and now it is my avitar here.

Back to charlie, maybe the 100s are machined a little tighter tolerance than the 90s?

Yes, well, the springs are a little different and I think the tolerance is more stringent. And, that is good as they are made to run more power, etc
I think I will go to the 100's with their corresponding axles, spindles, and ball joints on my ol' 86 Golf. I've got a lot of parts right at the moment....but I need the larger spindle bearings to make it happen and they are harder to find on places like "The Samba" etc.

put 100mm inner CV's on your current axles. they are the same thickness and they go right on the axle. i swear they work. i just did this in my rabbit.

i put a little axle grease on the splines.. it goes in as well as out much easier.

if you ever want to take something apart again, that is suceptible to corrosion or rust, theres nothing like using some greace or some never sieze. i love how my axles pop out of my hubs so nice every time.

Anything I need to know about doing this? I'm swapping an ACN 5-speed from an '87 Golf into my '84 Rabbit. I also put new axles in the Rabbit quite recently so i'd like to reuse them. If its easy enough to swap the 100's in then i'll get the ones off the junk golf and make it easier on myself.

Lucas, my old girlfriend would have never gone for your bovine head display.
You see, she was a very staunch member of PITA.
In fact, she always needed more PITA.
I was a very happy man.

the ACN transmission is 90mm flanges isn't it?  it should just bolt up.

It was a rifle but what is a deagle? We had to use a rifle or something that would reach a little further than those special guns that they use to bust skulls *maybe that is the deagle?* as you couldn't get close to those things without getting upset. They would get upset too:D

if indeed you have 100mm flanges, all you have to do is take the axle, remove the c clip that holds on the inner cv joint on, tap the cv off and then pull the boot off. and to put the 100mm cvs on, its just reverse order. but if you have really old rabbit axles, and really late mk2 cvs, the axles wont work exactly as i described. my axles are from a 77 i think, and there a little different than 80s rabbit axles, had to modify mine a tad bit.

Ha you know I might just have 90's on that ACN. I just assumed that since it was from a MK2 that it had 100's.  :oops:  I guess i'll check on that.  :lol: Also need to know that before I order the Peloquin 80% kit  :twisted:

www.scirocco.org/gears tells you the flange size.

Yeah I used that chart to find a good trans. The easiest one to pull at the junk yard also happened to be the ACN. It's basically a direct swap for my 4-speed. It will turn like 6 rpm less at 65mph according to thier calculator.But, I missed the little chart on the bottom about flange sizes. That page is sweet.  :D
