about cncing a case. If it could be made thicker it might be a good idea. How about strengthing a case all ready produced? Cast aluminum offers some advantage as to billet and with the right stuff creates a stronger but less ductile case. Then there is chill casting, aging the alum chemically to ind...

The idea of a strong gear case, coupled with a stronger gearing would be the best. But, since neither exist, next best thing would be to adapt something. We all no the common failure points. Wouldn't it make sense to figure out which other gear MFG's might have something that is close? I mean close ...

its changed. dreng21@gmail.com is the current affair.

I've made a couple of the clutch diaphragm spring compressor tools and there are 2 different ones. 1 for the older style non rubber boot, and then the newer style which has a slip cover that goes over the boot. As to the clutch pressure plate retainers there are 2 thicknesses and 2 diameters. A larg...

heard from Tom today. They just got back from holiday so will be getting the needed parts up and going sometime this week.

I use mine on the street just about everyday, and I have to say it rocks. Only time there is a problem is when you are trying to hook up when you have one tire in the dirt (snow, sand ,etc) and one on the pavement. The one on the slippery stuff doesn't do much but the one on the pavement does it's b...

Hello, I have emailed Tom and asked for 30 washers. Luke asked that I give Tom Lukes address so the stuff could be shipped to Lukes since he needed the out drivers asap.


I haven't heard back yet. I'll give you guys the update once I hear anything.

Supposedly they changed vendors/manufactures. Not sure if they are going to be better or not.

So, what should I tell Tom as for number of replacements?

So should I tell Tom we need 30?

I've been thru 2 sets at this point.

How how many washer do we need total? I have emailed Tom and he's going to send some over as well as Lukes broken piece.

ouch

I have emailed Tom the pictures and lead him to this post. Maybe he will reply.

You have never seen me drive

Great this will mean it has some wear on it.

Thanks

How many hours/time on gripper?

If the ramps have any signs of wear be sure and send me some pictures directly. Thanks

Huh, after all this and like 20+ years of guessing this and that. I'd be game for some R&D. I've actually lowered the HP on Rosie simply because 1-2 gear boxes a year gets old quick. I'm now on month 16 on the same gear box. MY89. I ended up getting a 2000 Audi A4Quattro for 900.00 to snag the d...

Hey all, Been a long time again. Does anybody have any pictures of the bevel washers from their boxes broken? Maybe some pictures of the ramps on the side gears? AKA planet driver? I emailed Tom about the broken bevel washers and he said they have changed suppliers and was hoping to see a pictures o...
