WHEN i ORDERED MY FIRST 2 SETS OF CLOSE RATION GEARS FOR MY RACE CAR, IT W=
AS $800 FOR BOTH SETS (i.e. $400 per set)!

Heck, I can make anything including gearsets and shafts but no one in thei=

ets cost $325 each at this point, times four or five is not cheap. When a d=
og box brakes it's 2-4K for repairs and parts. A Jerico is fine if you need=
the extra weight and are prepared to lose some acceleration because of the=
added moment of inertia weight of the giant gears and shafts.
If someone can guarantee an order for say 30 sets I would be glad to do a q=
uote for the TR4/6 close ratio set up, I would also need a good set for eng=
ineering purposes.
I guess my point is if guys are whining about paying $85 each for steel syn=
chro's to fix the stock gearbox issues, I think they would come unglued hav=
ing to pony up for the close ratio gear sets. If there is a stock of these =
gears sets somewhere please tell me and I will buy them all at the current =
price. Realistically they should cost 3 times or more than what they sell f=
or today.

Interesting conversation, if the manufacturer of the close ratio gearsets i=
s
truly done and can't be convinced to make more, this could have pretty big
implications to a lot of racers here.
Does anybody know the ratios of the dogbox gearset?
