| Building a new car? This
is something to consider, a Subaru bellhousing for your Mendeola transaxle.
It positions your motor 1.25" closer to your axles, minimizing your rear
engine weight leverage to the front end. Less engine leverage improves
your handling characteristics.
Three things to know...
1. This will cost you about $860 for 200mm flywheel
kit, or $900 for the 220mm (9" flywheel) kit. You can usually
negotiate $100 to $200 off with your transaxle builder for the stock VW
style bellhousing they won't be using.
2. You must tell your chassis builder you want to
use this
setup before the chassis is tabbed out for your motor and trans because the motor location
is different. The motor will sit farther forward, which is a good thing.
3. This bellhousing lets you utilize an exclusive 9"
flywheel that's 3 to 5lbs lighter than a standard 2pc welded flywheel needed for
the adapter kit. This means less mass to get the flywheel spinning,
resulting in a quicker revving motor allowing you to reach turbo boost
levels faster...... yeah baby! |
Outfront's exclusive Mendeola to Subaru bellhousing. |
| Here's a picture of the inside
of Outfront's Mendeola compatible bellhousing.
If you're planning to use a Subaru motor and a Mendeola
transaxle, this is a no brainer. For a mere $200 more than the
standard adapter setup you get a clean bolt
up bellhousing with a Subaru engine pattern. No more adapter plates to buy.
This bellhousing pulls your motor closer to your axles, a good thing to
help car handling. |
 |
| Another option to consider if you
want a really trick sandrail is an internal clutch slave. Instead of
using the traditional external clutch slave with the VW style clutch arm
with adjustment, this option replaces the external slave cylinder with a
direct clutch ram positioned inside the bellhousing, just like a Formula 1
Car!
The lower hose in this picture is connected to your clutch
master cylinder. The upper hose is the bleeder hose to bleed off any
air in the system.
You can fool everyone with this setup when you ask them to
help you adjust your clutch. |

| This shot shows you the 4 1/8"
length of the new Outfront bellhousing. You can compare this the a
standard Mendeola bellhousing and adapter plate to see the advantage you
get. Remember, this bellhousing bolts directly to almost any Subaru,
all 2.0L, 2.2L, 2.5L, 3.0L and 3.3L motors.
When you order your transaxle you can order it
specifically with the Outfront bellhousing. This product is
offered in cooperation with Mendeola, Weddle Industries, and all authorized
Mendeola dealers. You will not be wasting a standard bellhousing, the
dealer can order the transaxle kit from Mendeola/Weddle without a bellhousing
and apply the cost savings to the purchase of the Outfront bellhousing. Outfront will sell this exclusive bellhousing to any
Mendeola dealer. |
