I probably shouldn't post this, since I would rather buy next month...

but tenatively I'm looking for a few gears.

anybody have or know someone that has a:

3rd gear size: P

or a 4th/5th gear in size: T

thanks for the consideration

hey gear guru's
would either of these been original equiptment in some obscure 901 box, or are they both race ratio's only.

thanks Aaron..

perfect...
just what I was looking for.
it seems that 1968 was the year of the T

but it also looks like the P is a pipe dream.

back to the drawing board (or calculator)

I'm having a "bondo is out of money" sale on the stuff I have, no Ps or Ts tho. See classifieds for details. Remember that you can do some flipping to get ratios you want, but only when you mobe a 3rd to 4th or 5th, or a 4th or 5th to 3rd. (actually, you HAVE to flip them in those cases) For 4 speeds, that changes to 2nd to 3rd or4th, or 3rd or 4th to second.. the 4 speed is just a 5 speed with no first, so second becomes first, etc.

bondo...

I see..
why didn't I think of that first.
I understand flipping gears, but I didn't think of the obvious.

thank you.

so my mythical P gear is really a flipped X

yea!!!!! I have two X gears in my stash....

no I just have to find a 1968 911 t,e,or s that is parting out in order to find my T gear.

how does this group sound:
F/K-L/P/T/W

wooo- hooooo........!!!!!

And isn't F a little tall for 1st? That's the stock second gear. It works for V8s, but I don't think it'd be a good first gear for much else.

actually, i think it'd be a nifty gear for a vintage racer that sees airport circuits and doesn't have to deal with standing starts. make for 5 useable gears. your crew can help push you off the false grid...

K or L 2nd is plausible if you have a 904 mainshaft, of course...

K-L is just the ratio between what would be a K gear and an L gear.
Its what the letter assignment would be for a flipped ZD

so the box I'm putting together has a machined main shaft (ala 904) and I'm intending to run my flipped ZD in the 2nd gear slot

-------------------------------------------------

It will be a good first gear for the race track. We do rolling starts and the only time that 1st gear is ever used is in the pits. If I move F down into the 1st gear location, then that is kinda like having a 6 speed, because I get to have 4 more useable forward gears after F

alot of race cars look for hard to find C gears for 1st, but the F is better/more useable and cheap too

ooopppsss...

OK her goes this is my stash as of today.
these are the synchro'd gears letter # of teeth and stamped marking: A 29 IN3, T 29 IN3, V 31 IV, T 27 IV, 34 no other marks got two of them, B 34, T 34, S 27 IV, P 29,
non synchro gears T 23 IN3, X 23 IN, 25 no other marks.....
looks like both ring gears have 31 teeth pinions have 7 just an optical illusion as one ring gear is bevelled on the back side.

Need to build an Autocross box close 1234 and at least ZD 5th. I will sell the rest, most of the dog teeth have had it.

hmm...
I replied, but it must have hic upped.
lemme try again.

Joe, let me do some research and see how many teeth are on each half of the T gear (I mean the 2 seperate gears that combine to make a T)

Also, I can't remember which of the two pieces that the dogs are on for a 4th gear set, but I'll figure it out tonight.... and see if your willing to sell.

groot,
do you know if your O gear is for the 3rd gear space or for the 4th gear space. I think they make one of each and they don't interchange... See my above comment, I'll have to figure out which half of the set has the dog on it for a 3rd O versus a 4th O

thanks

Otto's has reasonable prices on "C" first gears.

Now for a 904 mainshaft & LSD and I'll be in biddness.....Otto's has them also....not sure bout the reasonable price bit tho.

I have an M and S, but if I sell them I'll figure out that I needed them, so I'll just hang on to 'em for now. I think that makes sense. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
