Hi Volks,
    My transaxle, 2wd 86 westy  243k miles 091 transaxle ,  is making more
noise than I care to listen to.  I have tried synthetic oil and it makes it
shift easier and very smooth but still has a lot of whine when under load.
     I want to /  plan to purchase most all the bearings, synchronizer
rings, synchronizer keys, reverse slider gear  and from many posts Todd Hill
has me convinced the 3 rd / 4th gear synchronizer hub should be replaced,
thanks Todd.   So where are the best prices on  transaxle  parts ?
       I prefer doing my own work and have  some experience with the  091
transaxle on a 78 westy and feel that experience will serve me well on the
86.  While in there it would be nice to install a little taller rear end, in
the  4.50 to 4.40 would be neat.  tia for any help with my quest.


Darrell
