[Russell Westfall]

JasonYes, this would be for a TR4. I’m finding that these parts are not available now and may not be again.Russ

Hi Russ,         I'm assuming this is for the TR4-TR6  type gearbox?  The set I ordered in 2021 for my personal gearbox took over 9 months to be shipped, then multiple other sets ordered in 2022 for customer gearboxes ended up being canceled after many months on order.  I was able to determine that the manufacturer of these gear sets will not be making any more.  Must not have been worth it for such a small volume.

**WARNING, this now becomes a commercial message...**
I've been working with a gear manufacturer on an alternative option.  Not a direct copy, some details are being improved:  *2nd/3rd/4th close ratio's for racing  *1st gear ratio is "stock" to get moving with less stress on your clutch, and easier to drive at paddock speeds.  *  A "racing" gear design - they will be noisy. 
The first set has been produced and is on its way to me.  I hope to put them through their paces over the coming months before moving forward with having further sets produced.  Best case scenario if everything works out, is to have them available later this year, but it's way too early to put a date on it.
Final price TBD, but they will be more expensive than the previous close ratio sets.  Much less expensive than a dog box conversion.
For planning purposes, I have started a list of those who are interested, please email me directly.

Fellow Fot members, I am in the process of having my transmission rebuilt. Greg Thompson is doing the rebuild. Greg suggested installing a close ratio gear set. Greg had ordered a set from Quantum Mechanics in Connecticut, unfortunately when I called John had sold out and he’s not sure when he will get more. My question is, does anyone know where I could buy a set? Thanks! Russ Westfall
