<div dir="ltr"><div>Amici,</div><div> I'm working with a gear manufacturer on another option for close ratio gear sets for the big TR gearbox. Initial design is for 2nd/3rd/4th to be close ratios (similar to what we are used to with the discontinued close ratio set), but the 1st ratio will be stock. I suspect few road racing users are using 1st gear other than to get moving from the grid (ultra close ratio dog box users excluded).</div><div><br></div><div>These will be a "semi-helical" type gear, they won't be quiet like street gears.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't have any hard numbers yet, the cost will certainly be a bit higher than the $600 sets we are used to, but a fraction of the cost of converting to a dog box.</div><div><br></div><div>If things work out, I'll have a sample set in my racecar to test this summer.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll keep FOT posted. </div><div><br></div><div>Jason Sukey</div><div>JS Performance Motoring, LLC</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jan 20, 2023 at 11:27 AM Bob Kramer Gmail via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">FWIW when calculating demand, I have bought 5 sets over the years.

<span style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:12pt">It's difficult to understand the reasoning behind not letting a more modern and available option to be used. Toyota, Miata, T5 or what ever. Had I known that to date, absolutely no tech inspector would ever even look at or question my gear box or if I was using rack and pinion steering, I may have gone that route in the first place. I don't think these items make the car or driver go much faster and spoil the competition. Some are using these already anyhow. I've heard the argument many times, that basically the original option with over-drive had 7 gears. Why wouldn't any 5-speed be allowed. Thegridsaregettingsmaller.com.
