Pro Gears
 
A few months ago I needed a new set of gears for the SS car. Have always had good luck with Richmond, but was concerned that mfg was now offshore, After research I decided to stay with Richmond, Had them professionally set up. Watched the setup. checked the pattern myself,used good gear oil. After about 35 passes they are junk.
They are completely worn out. These gears are junk. I guess I will try US gear next

I never had any luck with synthetic gear oil. It would just grind the pinion down to nothing.
GL-5, 80/140 conventional gear oil gave me the best results.
