MPI got gear.

[MPNick]

Here is a look at the gear set for the Proteges.

Very strong=big bucks.

 

[PaulMP3]

very nice.

big bucks=???$$

 

[Gbourdon]

Damn. Looking nice.

 

[changedman]

looks good. the only bad part is going to be time it takes to rip out the tranny, and put em in!
oh that and they probably cost a few body parts.

details? you plan on offering these ?

 

[LinuxRacr]

That the stock hardware or a hardened upgrade?

 

[daedalus]

Are they just cryoed? I'm very intrested in getting a spare tranny and having the innards cryoed. But i dont know how much it would cost. If you could either pot up a rough figure, or PM me I would appreciate it.

 

[KzA]

i doubt they are just cryoed...1 I dont think Nick really believes in that and 2 that process does not cost much...therefor it wouldnt be "big bucks"

Bout time we got some nice gearing...now you just gotta tell me who's car these are for!? Dean? Fastlane? For my Birthday?

 

[daedalus]

and zee price?

 

[KzA]

ive had this terrible rattle after i put the Spec clutch in when engaging first gear..Im not sure if there is a loose motormount or what but it sounds like wheelhop but my wheels aren't hopping..

lol sorry for the OT..that no clutch comment made me sour...

What is the difference between straight, heli cuts, or dogbox? Educate me.

 

[Dexter]

neato

 

[AODfan]

mmm nice

 

[Gbourdon]

Mmm. I do, although the splines are longer in the helical cut it appears that there is less contact area.

 

[changedman]

prices

 

[ddogg777]

Are they Par?

 

[LinuxRacr]

OK, looking at the picture, you see that those gears are straight cut. Hence not the stock ones. Downside: A little noisy.

I briefly spoke to nick about these this morning. They can be available in either straight, heli cuts or dogbox configuration.

Wouldn't that be nice: No clutch to shift up!!!

You are righ! I didn't look at them long enough! (shocked) Pretty much all the wek links are fixed with our cars now.

 

[changedman]

DSS has axles, but thats all i know, unless Nick is going to get some of those made as well

 

[Gbourdon]

Was this the major weak link with the tranny? I dont know if there are any other things that you can break due to torque.

 

[changedman]

axles, but yes, tranny internals... were a big issue, or for some they were/are

 

[Mental Addiction]

Are those PAR or ENCO?

 

[Fast lane]

Finally, i cant wait to get a set of these in my car...Nick you getting the shift forks made also?
And just how much noise do the straight cut gears make, and can you still use a clutch with it to up shift?

Thanks,
Matt
