EMPI Trigger Shifters
EMPI trigger shifters are designed for a range of classic air-cooled Volkswagen models, with specific versions available for Type 1, Ghia, and Type 2 buses. They offer benefits like improved, smoother gear shifts due to the sliding trigger and reduced throw that decreases the length of the shifter's movement, resulting in quicker and more positive gear changes. These shifters also increase safety with a reverse lock-out feature that prevents accidental engagement of reverse gear. EMPI trigger shifters are customizable for different vehicle needs with various shaft length options, some models with custom knobs, depending on the shifter style selected.

EMPI Swing Axles
EMPI swing axles offer benefits like durability and lower maintenance, making them popular for budget builds. Key advantages include reduced unsprung weight since the differential is chassis-mounted, and the ability to achieve a specific look with negative camber, particularly on lowered vehicles. They are also more budget-friendly than independent rear suspension (IRS) setups. Select the swing axles for your application needs.

EMPI IRS Super Differentials
EMPI's IRS super differentials provide the needed strength to withstand the abuse of high horsepower engines. The stronger construction prevents the stock housing from flexing, a common problem with powerful engines. The IRS super differential carriers feature an extra pair of spider gears, which helps distribute power and increases overall durability. The units design allows for infinitely adjustable ring gear lash, giving you more control over performance. Furthermore, their installation does not affect the operation of steering or turning brakes, so your vehicle's handling remains consistent.

EMPI Swing Axle Super Differentials
The EMPI swing axle super differentials offer significantly increased strength for high-performance and racing applications, primarily by using four spider gears instead of the stock two to distribute power more effectively. Key benefits include enhanced durability under high horsepower, a stronger differential housing, and precision machining, which eliminates stock housing flex and can withstand high-stress events. The units are made from a high-quality, non-porous steel alloy casting and precision CNC machined for a perfect fit and superior performance. The differential is supplied bare. This allows the builder to choose the spider gears that best fit their needs.

EMPI Chromoly Flywheels
EMPI offers chromoly flywheels specifically designed for high-performance engines, such as those found in many air-cooled VW applications, dune buggies, and other racing vehicles. These chromoly flywheels offer a strong combination of reduced weight, improved durability, and better engine response, making them a high-performance upgrade for demanding applications like racing or off-roading. By being significantly lighter than a stock flywheel, the EMPI chromoly flywheels reduce the engine's rotational inertia. This leads to faster engine revving and improved acceleration. These flywheels are fully balanced for a smoother power delivery, which is crucial for high-performance engines. Select the EMPI chromoly flywheel designed for your application needs.

EMPI Heavy-Duty Transaxle Cases
The EMPI heavy-duty transaxle cases serve as a stronger, more rigid foundation for high-performance or high-stress transaxle builds compared to a stock case. These cases are made from reinforced aluminum alloys with cast-in ribs and gussets to handle the increased power and stresses of applications like racing, off-roading, or high-horsepower street cars. The cases are precision machined to ensure proper fitment for all components, preventing leaks and ensuring a reliable assembly. They also often include features that allow for building them as either a swing-axle or independent rear suspension (IRS) transaxle and support modifications for different engine configurations. Select the transaxle case for your application needs.
