Hi Russ,
         I'm assuming this is for the TR4-TR6  type gearbox?  The set I
ordered in 2021 for my personal gearbox took over 9 months to be shipped,
then multiple other sets ordered in 2022 for customer gearboxes ended up
being canceled after many months on order.  I was able to determine that
the manufacturer of these gear sets will not be making any more.  Must not
have been worth it for such a small volume.


**WARNING, this now becomes a commercial message...**

I've been working with a gear manufacturer on an alternative option.  Not a
direct copy, some details are being improved:
  *2nd/3rd/4th close ratio's for racing
  *1st gear ratio is "stock" to get moving with less stress on your clutch,
and easier to drive at paddock speeds.
  *  A "racing" gear design - they will be noisy.

The first set has been produced and is on its way to me.  I hope to put
them through their paces over the coming months before moving forward with
having further sets produced.
Best case scenario if everything works out, is to have them available later
this year, but it's way too early to put a date on it.

Final price TBD, but they will be more expensive than the previous close
ratio sets.  Much less expensive than a dog box conversion.

For planning purposes, I have started a list of those who are interested,
please email me directly.
