Is anyone machining flanges to adapt the output flanges from a Subaru 5MT to work with 914 axels?
I have a set of the Renegade high performance axles that I'd like to re-use if possible. These axels were $700 and are beefy as hell. I'd rather not re-buy something if I don't need to. Just wondering if it is as simple as having a set of "adaptors" made? |

Try these guys....Subarugears
they have the adapters and the locking sleeve. The locking sleeve is about $180 dollars shipped and the adapters are less than $500 now with the exchange rate. |

I believe you don't need flanges - you need to have your 914 axles machined to accept a suby cv joint at the suby trans.
there are several different suby cv joints, so be sure what you are gonna use. http://www.dutchmanaxles.com/services |

Hmmm...the plot thickens!
It looks like I can get a set of ADP Flanges from another member, but want to make sure I'm not buying the wrong thing. |

Got em!
From the reading I did, these should allows to use the beefy-ass axels I have already. They replace the output flanges on the 5MT and have the right bolt pattern for my axels' adapters. ...at least in theory... Attached thumbnail(s)

The odds of your renegade axles being the right length are extremely remote. When you need new ones, check out these guys. They also sell single axles if you call them.
http://www.pacificcustoms.com/axles.html BTW, your Renegade are a 33 spline VW Type 2 axle. Most likely with 944 CV's. |
