When John Weddle started building VW transaxles in the early 1970s, he never imagined there would be a demand for a 220 pound 6-speed sequential gearbox for an off-road race car. But increases in horsepower, tire size, and suspension travel have continually pushed transaxle technology beyond its limits. Over the years, each new "bulletproof" gearbox design allowed chassis builders to build bigger and more powerful cars. Before long, the transaxle would again be the weak link, and a new, even more "bulletproof" design would hit the market. We’ve seen the same cycle repeat itself over and over again. Here at Weddle Industries, we strive to stay ahead of the curve with our commitment to continuous product development and improvement. There are many high performance transaxles available on the market today, and choosing the right one can be a challenge. Our experienced sales staff can help you select the transaxle that best suits your application and budget. Give us a call and we'll point you in the right direction.
