The arrangement is a winning arrangement for all concerned – Hewland can concentrate its efforts on strengthening an already vastly successful catalogue range of transmissions and its new racing and bespoke OEM automotive products.
The new partnership provides support for the ever-growing demand for Hewland products within the historic racing market. But in 2014, Hewland licensed the long-term support of all H-Gate transmission designs produced prior to 1990, including the celebrated FT, DG, MK5 / MK8, LD, and VG variants to Hewland Classic – part of PDS Racing owned by Peter Smith.
When you are the company that invented the bespoke racing transmission, it’s in our interest to maintain that history and heritage as long as people are interested in classic race cars.įor years Hewland maintained our legacy side-by-side our normal operations. I have another mk9 with 4.37 that can handle 2.Hewland Classic is one of the strongest supporters of classic car racing. I never used because I have plenty of mk9 parts. I have a webster 400 that I supose is similar to mk4-mk5, internally is a complete diferent trans.

The Hewland dog design is somewhat antiquated, as well. Reverse is also less durable than a standard Bug trans. There is no better trans for road racing, but they're noisy, require finesse for street driving, and the ratio selection is rather limited. It was fun for about 6 months, and then became tiresome.

Hope this works to somebody that wants to try this gearboxĪt this moment I have on my bug a 912 901 trans with lsd, works great is not cheap either, the lsd is expensive. The real problem with the hewland is that only the owner can drive the car because almost nobody knows hiw to shift poperly this trabs, and the results can be nasty.ģ.16 gears are not cheap ! Every other gear is adfordable. I also use central anular hydraulic clutch with 2000lb and is smooth and soft I have other hewland trans in other projects but the mk9 for me is the right one for vw I love the wine from straight cut gears but for some persons is annoyingĬhanging gears is not as easy as mid engine because we need to remove engine and with all the stuff that we add is not fast!
I solved this problem with 3.88 r&p and 3.16 first year, the launch is not a problemĮxist a lot of diferent gear ratios, I have more than 30 diferent,īut I found that 2 combination was enough for street with overdrive and short ratios for track Some years ago when I beginning with this trans project, some people told me that this was tried several years ago, the problem was the 3.44 r&p and 2.5 first year.
#Hewland gearbox how to
Know how to change gears at this type of dog leg, dog box trans is for me the best driving and purist experience. I used mine a lot of years, very happy, lot of satisfaction I want to know if somebody uses mk9 transaxle in your vw ?
