interested

oh how it sucks to be poor....

If you want a taller gear remember that tripoint also sells ring and pinon gear set. Taller gears would mean better gas milage...big plus on a daily driver. EMCO gears for the protege are almost $1K per gear I think.

Can you provide more info on the current tranny...how strong or reliable it is (not including the LSD)? And ball park price range would be nice.

 

[TurfBurn]

I can tell you that once you cross about 300 whp.. or in the 300-350 wtq range you will start eating gears.

 

[spacemonkey]

hmmm then yes...I would be interested. But the LSD 1st, motor 2nd, tranny 3rd.

LSD will be taken care of soon (hopefully) and motor has already begun. so its only a matter of time and money before I get the tranny too.

 

[TurfBurn]

Nobody has blown a welded LSD like I have and Focus and a few others all have... so hopefully that will hold true for a while...

Nick, I'll PM or call you in the near future to talk on this.. I want to make sure my transmission efforts aren't redundant to yours and that we can find the best cost solution for everyone from wherever possible!

that piece in my hand was chilling in the housing. my 3rd gear is now missing 1 freakin tooth. didnt even get to brak the motor in. wasnt powershifting or even going over 3000rpm yet. Every time i fix something, something else has to act up. i just dumped 1600 into the motor...how much will these built gears run us?

See, this is what is keeping me from wanting more than 300 WHP. With these gearsets, that wouldn't be an issue anymore. Definitely interested.

I'd be interested in a close-ratio strong set. I'd definetly substitute top speed for some more low end.

After talking with Focus yesterday this is the end all gearset. You get this gearset and you can throw whatever hp you want at this transmission. After hearing what it includes, I feel shamed calling it a "gearset" it should be called the complete "weak link eliminator". You have options up the wazzo.

 

[tekkie]

thats great now how much does it cost

 

[BlkZoomZoom]

When they get everything worked out they will let us know. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be considering what this kit includes.

 

[ND4MSP]

I for one will prob never be able to afford these, but this is really good news for the serious folks. But yeah, a longer first and fifth would def rock

 

[Reffoxel]

definitely interested. Especially if price is good.

 

[4001]

Is there any idea when the details will be released?

 

[Focus]

As soon as nick can confirm a couple small details.

 

[spacemonkey]

will it be similar to this?

[BlkZoomZoom]

More. Much, much more. Everything is updated, upgraded, and stronger than anything.

 

[robp5t]

I am in.

 

[mp5jeff]

depending on price, i might be interested.

Price for jon Shepard's trannys arent that bad (price wise). I just wish we had another optionon diffs besides Quaife. Quaife is awsome but a bit of a overkill. I assume the price will be similar to a DSM FWD rebuild...which is always a godo investment.

looking forward to this.
