Broken 3rd gear x 3

As an update, here is a listing of both the 3rd/4th gear variants that we carry and current stock levels:

8 x LASSS-3-124 (Synchromesh/Straight Cut/3rd Gear/1.24:1/Single Synchro/Std Bearing)
7 x LASSS-3-124-N (Synchromesh/Straight Cut/3rd Gear/1.24:1/Single Synchro/Needle Roller Bearing)
0 x LASSS-3-124-D (Synchromesh/Straight Cut/3rd Gear/1.24:1/Double Synchro/Std Bearing) ***
6 x LASSS-3-124-DN (Synchromesh/Straight Cut/3rd Gear/1.24:1/Double Synchro/Needle Roller Bearing)

0 x LASSS-4-090 (Synchromesh/Straight Cut/4th Gear/0.90:1/Single Synchro/Std Bearing) ***
4 x LASSS-4-090-N (Synchromesh/Straight Cut/4th Gear/0.90:1/Single Synchro/Needle Roller Bearing)
0 x LASSS-4-090-D (Synchromesh/Straight Cut/4th Gear/0.90:1/Double Synchro/Std Bearing) ***
0 x LASSS-4-090-DN (Synchromesh/Straight Cut/4th Gear/0.90:1/Double Synchro/Needle Roller Bearing) ***

*** All items with zero stock will be available within a 2 week period. Moving on from now, all stock for all models of all products will be replenished within a 2 week period.

We're also extending our standard gear breakage product warranty out to 12 months for all products sold from 2008 onwards from the previous 6 months, so customers can have total peace of mind. The only stipulations is professional installation and a good quality 100% synthetic GL-5, preferably GL-6 gear oil (synchro compatible for synchromesh products). Our only recommendation is NEO Synthetic 75w90HD or 75w90RHD gear oil which is made in the USA. Gear oil change intervals should be 10,000~15,000miles or every 12 months. Of course failure related to abusive and abnormal shifting (eg. flatshifting and gear synchro grinding) which may cause other parts of the transmission to fail, affect our products is not covered.

I've attached a picture of the reinforcement kit fitted to a G-Series housing.

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 insurace. Correct?

Thanks for anwsering all our questions. :D

That's what I gathered from what he said before...

Yes, that is correct.
 
I have 3 sets of 3rd and 4th gears on order with PAR. One of them is for my own car, so that leaves two sets remaining. Once they ship (in a couple of weeks) I'll put them on the website.
 
Guys read back to post 79 where Gerard replied to my question on the 1-4 set. The pinion gear is cut into the output (pinion) shaft that meshes with the ring gear (crown wheel) on the differential which has the larger tooth profile. If you do this upgrade it would require at least an un-welded msp lsd or quaife. If you are light on funds right now like me from what I'm understanding if it's being offered as an upgrade the 1-4 set will swap right in using our input and output (pinion) shafts. This is what I'm planning with needle bearings and double synchros on 3rd & 4th. Then when money permits I will do the quaife and pinion crown wheel upgrade.

The 1st~4th gear set is supplied with input shaft, 3rd~4th gears (1st~2nd is cut into the input shaft like the factory shafts) and 1st~4th pinion gears.

This set can be fitted with or without the crown wheel and pinion option.

The factory crown wheel rivets have to be drilled/pressed out and the new crown wheel attached with suitable bolts.

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 trap about 91mph.

They have slightly smaller tires on the Protege and a 4.11 final so I have been basing the speeds off thier numbers, just so we are all talking about the same thing.

Do you not like that last set of raio's I posted?

1 - 2.8
2 - 1.65
3 - 1.26
4 - 0.962
(yupnope)

Ya i like those ratios, i mean i plan to rev the car out to 7500 at least maybe just shy of 8k so those would work well for me. I just dont really want to have to shift into 5th gear any more.
 
Gerard

What ratios do you have in stock on 1st & 2nd I didn't see them listed anywhere?

Also I am still waiting for my damn taxes. The IRS has things on lockdown for some until Feb 11th and I will be ordering a full 1-4 set the next day after filing when I get my check.

Is there any chance to extend out the sale to get the good pricing! After getting you're info from Focus I have been throwing the PAR name everywhere I can to hopefully get some more interest going. I would love to get into a group buy to get an even better price after just spending $5500 on my motor but I can't afford to wait that long with no 3rd gear and bad 2nd gear synchro!

Hey Dana did you order the stock gear ratios or the ratio u calculated?? Just curious.
 
Finally got my taxes done and pick up my check tomorrow!

Ordering 1-4 set Monday or Tuesday when it clears the bank WOOHOO!

Waiting to hear back from Gerard on what ratio they have for 1st & 2nd in stock.
 
Please let me know how it all works out? I would rather pay more for some piece of mind after some of these are bought and installed! I ant to fix my car, but if parts are still going to break i am going to get rid of it!
 
I'm about to order but can someone tell me what these ratios will translate to at 6500rpm's

3.11:1@6500=_____mph
1.83:1@6500=_____mph
1.24:1@6500=_____mph
0.90:1@6500=_____mph

or give me the formula and I will calculate it!

Thanks
