Rancho/PBS RD-4 High Performance Transaxl

The highly sought after PBS RD-4 is now being made available exclusively through Rancho Performance Transaxles. Designed as an extremely cost effective, high performance transaxle for use in off road and sand cars each RD-4 is custom built to order. The RD-4’s unique H-pattern cable shifter makes them easily adapted to mid or rear engine cars by simply selecting the appropriate cable length and routing. The RD-4 main case is precision cast and machined from the strongest aircraft quality A356 aluminum. Shaft centers are a full 85 mm apart allowing for the use of substantially larger bearings and gear sets and the rugged reverse gears feature a larger diameter 3-piece design.

Output flanges are available for 930 and 934/935 CV joints with heavy duty Dana 60 differential. Gear placement remains standard as are the durable 9310 chromoly steel 6-lug dog rings . 18-spline input shaft is machined from 300 M steel.

Internal shifter mechanism incorporates a reverse lockout feature which prevents selecting both reverse and a forward gear simultaneously. Putting the gearbox in neutral with the 4 speed selector allows reverse to be engaged with the separate lever. When reverse is disengaged the forward gears may be engaged in any order. When in any forward gear reverse may not be engaged. Rancho supplies new RD-4s with a shift handle and separate cable operated reverse shift lever assembly. As applications vary greatly, cables are not included. Rancho’s PBS RD-4 provides exceptional strength, reliability and durability for the all around dirt/sand enthusiast and it does it for just $7995.00!
