    Billet gears for 6spd T-case

    Yes that is what I said.

    I have spoke with Ray and he is not close to releasing anything, I called him because I have a supplier that is willing to make these gears.

    Ray told me to go ahead an "run" with this, but I am afraid that this will be a short race.
    The first option that Ray suggested was to get just the main gear cut because that would be easy to replace without needing to rebuild the entire T-case.

    However the shop could not guarantee that the new gears would mesh with the old gear, so unfortunately this is not an option.

    So here is the details:
    Shep Transmission is the shop
    15-20 committed buyers needed
    Gears alone would be 1,700-1,800
    Rebuild would be 300-400
    lead time 4-5 months

    Like I said this probably will not happen but hey I found the supplier and the price, who can commit? Not want to, kind of but....I am doing this no matter what commit

    I am just a messenger, all funds would be sent to Shep Transmission directly.

    He would be using the same material that is used in their DSM T-cases:

    Stronger grade material harder to break the teeth. Plus his gear profile is different in the gears themselves, so we could have a stronger gear just by thicker gear teeth (this of course is speculation)

    bottom line stronger metal more torque the gears can withstand.

    I have it in the facebook groups, and a link to it on US3S.org. I do not want to have to communicate through multiple forums, If anyone is a member of other forum groups that will allow linking to 3sgto.org...pleassde feel free to do so.

    Might put this on multiple forums to reach a broader base.
