Gaging interest for gears sets that may be available., not sure I want to do this Options

[Krieger]

I may have access to these gears: A, GA, G, S, V, X, ZA. I would have to buy up front then sell to you guys. So that's my hesitation. PM me with your interest and $ you'd spend.

Flipping an H or HA in 5th is not a problem. I have never had a failure. It is true that the thrust surfaces are reversed, but due to the ratio it is less of a concern. If one were to try it on a pair whose ratio was farther from 1:1 then you could expect teeth in the oil.

V is a stock gear and pretty useless because all core 901 for 914 have this gear. This is the same for ZD which is stock 5th and A which is stock 1st. Not worth the money to buy separately since you can get them in a core for $50-250 plus a bunch of other good parts.

GA is stock 2nd in a 914-6 box and as mentioned ZA is stock 5th in the same box (for the reasons mentioned).

G may be of interest to some, but I have never needed one in one of my builds.

This leaves you with S and X which is only two of the three needed if you do the common MSX short box conversion. S and X are worth while, you can get $200-250 a set.

Carquip does stock all gears, but price depends on what you want. $650 would be for a more desirable, harder to obtain set. Carquip will also buy your used gears off of you if they are not the aforementioned generic 901 sets. You may do well to get an inventory of gears that you may have access to buy, call Carquip and get a quote, then see if you make any money. That would be the quick way.
