Thanks, that's pretty much what I figured. Why no double syncro on 4? I want to do almost the exact same setup, just double syncro on 1-4.

Shane, you got the complete 1-4 setup right? what all did you have to purchase in addition to the gear set? bearrings, syncros, etc. etc. and how much for all the parts if you don't mind. I can't hear any gear noise in your vids, just the exhaust. Mine is probably just as loud so that's very...

The most I've ever seen from a KL is about 500HP. There was a Dyno sheet on that one. There have also been a couple in the 400+ area, but not many. Never heard of anyone over 600 before. Unless you count that Australian Race car with the twin turbo's, complete rebuild and custom IM, It was...

LIES! Mazda tranny's are notoriasly(sp) weak, even on a stock car they can blow.

So is anything happening with a Bulk Buy? I also want these but money is tight. :(

Gerard, Just to clairify, if we do NOT get the reinforcement kit then there is NO machining neccissary on the housing to fit your gear set. Correct? Getting the strait cut gears should reduce streses on the case enough where we shouldn't need the reinforcment kit, but it would still be good...

I just saw this from Jeff posted in his sale thread of the PAR gears. Sounds like we may still have problems if were pushing high HP. (dunno)

you are talking about http://www.f-body.org/gears/ right? It seems pretty accurate to me, using the stock ratio's I get 90mph in 3rd. That seems right to me (although it's been awhile since I've had stock ratio's). I remember when Id run the 1/4 I could hold it in 3rd just past redline and...

If you can't wait you should just go ahead and order the regular set and get the January Discount. I really would like to see a Bulk Buy happen but no one has stepped up yet to start it. I suppose I could do it buy being a newbie on this board I figured youd rather have someone you know, plus...

Ok, how about these ratios? 1st - 2.8 (43mph @6800) 2nd - 1.65 (73mph) 3rd - 1.26 (96mph) 4th - .96 (126mph) Again these are using a 4.11 final and 215/45/17 tires. Probes would be a few MPH faster since we run a 225/45/17. Using these ratio’s if you shift from 1st to 2nd @...

If you go back a couple pages Gerard posted some links of cars with the PAR gears. Honestly the strait cut's are not that bad. Apparently they have done a great deal of work on the tooth profiles. The cost is the same for strait or helical, also the same for custom ratio's and the dual...

Guy's Here is the info I got from Gerard the last time I inquired, If we can all agree on a gearset and get 10 of us, we should be able to get the 1-4 set for less then $2500. I think that is doable I sent PM's to all 11 people from Probetalk that were interested in these sets to come check...

How far up can we take 1st before it starts to lagg to much? 2.5, 2.2? I have no idea. My main problem with going to a taller 2nd is the RPM drop, even the stock setup drops to far. That's why I want to bring 1st up but not move 2nd much. Our redline is 7k in the probe and even shifting there...

How about we comprimise some: 1 - 2.8 (41mph@6500) 2 - 1.8 (64mph@6500) I think your 2nd was to tall, RPM drop put us below our TQ curve. 3 - 1.26 (92mph@6500) 4 - 0.97 (119mph@6500) 5 - 0.69 (168mph@6500) I'm running a 0.72 now and love it. A tad lower RPM would be even better. I agree on...

I've already posted in that thread about the PAR gears. I'm on ProbeTalk, if you just join up and start advertising you will get your posts removed and possible Banned. You'll have to sign up as a vendor if you want to sell anything. They are pretty strict over there. Also Probe owners tend...

There are no additional charges for custom ratio's. These are the ratio's I was thinking of. 1- 3 2- 1.83 3- 1.26 4- 0.95 5- 0.68 Using a 4.38 Final, or raise 4th and 5th a tad and use the 4.11 final. (dunno) I'm currently using the stock 2.0 ratio's in my PGT and love 5th. It signifigantly...

The Mazda manual specifies GL-4, I've heard that GL-5 contains sulfer and can cause premature wear or damage to the brass syncro's. Is this info correct or have the syncros changed over the years and this is no longer an issue? This is presicely the reason to get strait cut gears. It also...

I guess we can just wait for Gerard but the 1-4 set must not come with the output shaft, we just reuse our stock one. I have chipped a tooth on my crown but that was only cause it picked up bits of 3rd the last time I blew it.

I am assuming from this earlier post (and emails I've recieved from PAR) that the Pinion and crown are in addition to the 1-4 set. Id be very happy if they are part of it though. Is the pinion (or crown forget which is which) part of the output shaft or is it pressed on?

We probably don't NEED the Pinion gear, just 1-4 strait cut with the double syncros and needle bearings. That should be closer to the 3k mark, maybe a tad less if we get 10 people in on it. (thumb)
