They simply shear off there.
Minor diameter of the spine is whatever but too little diameter
Major weakness in owning a VW is the outer CV shearing off and other drive line evilnesses.

Happened to us in 2006 as well. Road racers always complain about losing wheelbearings on these cars if the nuts aren't at like 250ft-lbs and we had wheelbearing noise. We kept checking the nuts (2ft bar on 1/2" drive rachet) because we thought they were coming loose. Pulling out of service #3 the whole splined part snapped off. Not sure if the cracks were from over tightening or what.

I was thinking that, but since I saw them as "peloquin shim kits" I thought you had to buy a peloquin in the first place to use it, which didn't make much sense to me. But now it all does because you use it without a diff installed.

Well bill if i beat you to it i will let you know how well it works, the fellow i got my donor from had one installed in his 020 (that didnt come with the donor). he said it worked fantastic. he could drive it around town and long distances. when it came down to business it sufficed.

Any update on this? I'm guessing if we're ordering from Europe these won't come in time for NEFR?

The Peloquin Shim kits are useless junk when it comes to limiting slip. These are the old kits made by Velocity Sport Tuning way back in the day. When Velocity went under, Peloquin picked up the parts and sells them.


They ARE good for one thing thought---They have a bolt kit for the output flanges so you can get rid of the pesky circlip and dust-cover setup that is prone to failure.
