The Mendeola S4 transaxle was designed to address some limitations of the MD series. The S4 started from a clean sheet of paper, designed to be the next level in strength and performance. The S4 uses industry proven Weddle Racing 10' ring and pinions coupled to a new line of Weddle Racing gears made specifically or the S4 transaxle. The Mendeola MD trans opened the door for higher horsepower, longer travel cars. These units are based on the VW Type 1 transaxle, but with many improvements to the orginal VW design such as a beefy a 10' diameter ring and pinion and larger differential gears.

R.E.M. Polishing
| REM™ ISOTROPIC FINISHING | |
Although the result of the REM(tm) process is a beautiful finish, it is Important to realize that the system does not polish the part. The process involves two steps. The first, referred to as the refinement process involves a chemical interaction on the surface of the part. A soft, thin (one micron) film is formed on the surface of the part. The part interacts with the ceramic media in a special vibratory tub, this film is physically removed from the 'peaks' of the processed part and the 'valleys' are unaffected. The chemically induced film re-forms only at the peaks that are interacting with the vibratory media, and the process repeats itself. Over time, the peaks are removed, leaving only the valleys, producing the improved micro finish. The second step is referred to as the burnish process. After the required micro finish is achieved, a mild alkaline mixture is introduced. After a relatively short period a polished, chrome-like finish is produced. In addition to the polishing effects, this step effectively removes all traces of the film formation from the refinement process. The Benefits Are: | |
