I welded an "I" gear onto my mainshaft after cutting the "F" gear off. Probably a whole lot cheaper than a 904 mainshaft if you don't need to keep changing second gear ratios. |

How did you do that? I tried to do some machining on the shafts in an early experiment of doing something similar. Carbide bits would just scratch them. |

A,I,M,Q,V for an engine with 8000+ redline and about 180hp. |

On pelican some where there is a thread with a "How to change 901 second gear" by machining and welding. By Grady Clay I think. Old School get er done |

For 1st: AA, B or C. B is about unobtanium. Ask AAron C will run you 3-400 from Otto...more from power House. A 'B' cost me 400 for 2nd: GA. stock 914/6 mainshaft....they can be found, but it may take some time. I got one relatively cheep. Thas all I know. I have no problem with the rest of the gear ratios. With more torque than I, you shouldn't either.....IMO BTW, I popped for a Guard TB diff bout an hour ago. 1200. |
