rear gear manufacturer success?
just curious as to which manufacturer of rear gears are people using and with what success?
I had the rear gears fail (shredded the teeth) at ATCO this weekend and need to replace them. In the past we have gotten 250-300 runs out of a set of gears, but this no longer seems to be the case? anyone have a manufacturer that they would recommend? We are typically careful to set up the gears correctly, however, I recently purchased this car and have no idea how many runs were on the gear set. any help would be gretaly appreciated, Thank You!

X2 on the Richmond pro gear. I ran street gears for many years, but wound up switching to the pro gears after tearing up a couple of street gear sets. This was running low 11's in a 3800 lb. car.

Richmond Pro Gears, in my experience, will last very well. With an auto trans foot & brake will last for many seasons. With trans brake and heavier cars, higher power, still last for 100's of runs. (of course, this is a general rule)

Re: rear gear manufacturer success?
Does anyone here use cryo or the mikronite process on their rear end gears ?
And does it help in the lifespan of gears ? |
