inspired by a recent threat here about lightning gears and there benefits ,i decided to give it a shoot and wire edm 1st and 2nd gear .the weight difference form stock to modified is
3rd gear .3764kg ( the lightest gear to slow down for shifting) 2nd gear was .5078kg is now .4398kg 1st gear was .6754kg is now .5468kg gears have bin cryo treated after the machining for testing the transmission will be mated to a 200hp /4 engine i let everybody know if the gears survive and if it makes a difference in shifting Attached image(s) |

Thomas,
If you would like some more data, PM me and I will put you in touch with Insco gears, they make the baker six speed gearbox, as well as many industrial gears....some are three feet in diameter. They have all the tools, laser, underwater cutting etc etc. I am sure they will know the affects of what you did on gears....just in case you need another datapoint. Good luck and please remember to post what happened... Rich |
