Noisy Reverse gear

[spritle]

Ouch.

I got a brand new gearbox for around $4K.


how much was the clutch & work?

[dubbed]

Shhhiiit. Surely there are stronger and cheaper alternatives? I.e. maybe a second-hand box from a GTI or something if they bolt up?

You could always try custom something Like a dogbox But that would probably be exxy

Hi,

I haven't got the invoice yet as we are still waiting on a bearing that didn't arrive today. The clutch cost is about $800 which included machining the unusual flywheel.

I'll give a breakdown of the costs when I get the invoice

just to let you now helicel gear are acctully stronger as there is more tooth because of the angle
straight cut are just better to ingauge (ie. change gear quicker)

rex boxs just break due to people smashing them it to gears
so when they get the straight cut it allows them to change quick with out as much risk of it breaking

Are you for real? I'm an engineering student, and I've studied the manufacture of straight and helical cuts, particularly in diffs -and i can tell you that you're completely wrong
