i was reading about Cryogenic treament for the automotive world. Does anyone have any experience in cyro treating final drive grears and is it worth it?

 

Final drive grears, we really don't have to much of a problem with them. Trans gears, i would do when i rebuild my trans.

 

How many failed rearends (Not ***) have you seen in a Z?

 

i havent heard of really any, but i can get them done for $100, which im willing to spend.

 

i havent seen any trans or rears break because of power limitations, even on tracked z's. however if i were you, id upgrade to the cd009 trans

 

I've had this done on my TR8 tranny - can't say there is any difference but it does seem to be handling the 2X + power increase over stock well.....

 

Cryo treatment is used for racing applications for the most part. Molecules do move and form into a tighter, realigned pattern. When returned to room temperature, the molecules stay in the new relationship producing less random and even spacing, which in turn reduces the open areas between the grid matrixes to one another. The resulting product shows a better wear pattern and a bonding of molecules to one another. This process is a one-time process that treats the part all the way through; it's not just on the surface.
