Home > Products > Transaxles

They are finally here! PRObuilt Transaxles by the PRO's at Airkewld! Don't be confused by the options, the PRO's make it easy to understand and make choices that will help you shift into the right gear! There are two directions you can go when choosing the right transaxle for your application. Cruiser or for Performance.

  • If you are building a cruiser, small engine application, the Freeway Flyer transaxle is perfect for your application. 3.88 Ring and Pinion and an overdrive 4th, also known as an 089. Stock rebuilt transaxle, ready for your cruiser to enjoy the open road.
  • If you are building a Performance application, you get the Performance Built Transaxle. Come with the same Ring and Pinion along with the overdrive 4th, but comes with welded gears, steel shift forks, super diff and heavy duty side plate. This set up works well for most whom are building a peppy car with stroked motor application.
Your cruiser will not need the upgraded transaxle and your performance build will need MORE than the cruiser transaxle, so do not base your decision on cost, base it on experience.
