Wow! Thats some "Power point" material there.

 

(dumb question.. please don't kill me), why is it 2 seperate pieces? Would it be possible to get a solid one made if that's a weak spot?

 

weld that **** yo!!!

 

shouldn't you be on the dyno trying to blow up AJ's car???

 

in the morning man, in the morning, blow up or hit 500 stock block. then take it and prove it on the track....

 

well, i will be looking into having this third counter gear reproduced in this fashion. I will fully pull this gear off tomorrow, but it does appear that nissan mates two machined pieces together and has some sort of copper seam between them... would be much stronger if it was one piece from the beginning

 

that is actually magic copper seal that is imported from east india.

 

no after-market/stronger gears are available?

 

We have made them already ,we are in the testing phase right now .

The engagement tooth ring/gear is brazed to the main body of the gear with copper (in this case, sometimes they use bronze, brass, etc). Many OEMs do this as a"fuse" - breaking the gear in this fashion is better than shredding the teeth off the gear which will take out both the 3rd input gear and 3rd counter gear and likely take out other gears as well as ruin bearings, etc. This way, if it breaks, it just breaks itself and there is no other carnage.

 

Hah at least my 6th gear is going out first. 25k miles on the tranny and 6th gear grind wtf. Those gears are probably made of hardend steel. You can weld it with an arc welder and get it really really really hot.

 

the synchronizer wearing out has absolutely nothing to do with the strength of the gear nor the gear breaking. they are two separate and unrelated problems. All gears are made out of hardened steel, otherwise they'd wear out. getting gear steel really really hot isn't the best idea...

 

there he is! I have called, emailed... I was hoping to here from you buddy... I assumed you must have been out of the country, you are a difficult guy to get ahold of...Can I use JUST your 3rd counter gear with the other OEM gears?

 

 

No offense, but you've been testing since before I picked my car up in September Im losing the faith, at the same time Im not losing $$$....

 

sounds like the stroker kit took priority all that time perhaps

 

Sorry TODD busy as usual ,I will call you shortly ,and to answer your question our gear sets was designed to accomplish two things. stronger gear and different gear ratio not to mention straight cut verses helical .

No offence taking.if we had seen more demand on the gear sets, we could have them available long time ago ,the gear set are on the shelf and are assembled in couple test transmissions ,they are not on the top priority list ,this does not mean that we are never going to finish up not at all, it is all based on the market demands.(steel in the testing phase sorry bert )

thx for the call Sam, good talking to you... when your gears are tested and released, they will definately be the best option...

 

Same s_hit with the 3rd gear here in germany.
