I'm considering getting cryo treatment done on my 901 guts before I put it together. Jake said he pays $10 a pound. I'd do both shafts, 2nd through 5th gears, and the ring gear. Just wondering if anyone happens to know roughly how much that weighs.

Not quite as simple as everything but the case. I won't do the inner diff, syncros, dog teeth, sliders, shift forks, reverse or output flanges.
I doubt doing the case would help in any way. The cryo process helps carbon steel change into a harder form. I don't think it will help al or magnesium, and I'm pretty sure even low carbon steel doesn't see a benefit. Its greatest benefit is for heat treated high carbon steel. |
