Billet gears for 6spd T-case

[MeTarzan]

I was more referring to the external brace that MeTarzan posted since those seemed like they were actually going to happen.

I never really got any definite interest in them but if people really want them we can make them.

Overkill or not...INTERESTED.

I even have a good T-case sitting that could be shipped to you if need be to develop the prototype

[MeTarzan]

theres no issue if its overkill if someone will buy them....i mean the dsm one was made on recommendation of a trans builder with a mid 9 sec full weight 2 G eclipse and this season we will have them on a few other Fast dsm's.

i have the tcase already so development isnt a problem...just demand.... i guess i can start another thread to get actual interest on them and we could have the first one ready pretty quick (~2weeks)

before we hop onto the brace idea, do we have any proof that the stock case is flexing? anyone looked at the broken stock housings to see if there is any sign of this?

[2fnloud]

How about just based on the conversation I had with Ray, when I first started this thread? He suspects that there is just enough flex to pull the T-case gears far enough apart to cause the failure.

HE backed that up by explaining that in all the grenaded 6spd T-cases that he seen it is the main gears that have been stripped just about clear off. Manny even posted pics of his T-case main gear, and it's damage was exactly as Ray explained it.

Has anyone in the DSM family put one of these on with just stock T-case gears and beat on it? Would be curious to know if adding just the brace added to the longevity to the stock gears.

[MeTarzan]

well that is exactly what the dsm tcases do as well and so far im pretty sure the only tcases that these are on are on stock gears.....im going to go ahead and pull my tcase and get this thing rolling

why don't you guys just get the midcase cast in steel then? toy-rific is stilling casting 5 speed cases.

What did the DSM brace and up costing, I remember you guestimated 600 earlier in this thread.

[MR2]

is the DSM brace pre-loaded? did the DSM guys go with a brace or a full replacement?
