3/4 & C-diff. weights for Matthias upgrade:
Intermediate shaft = 6.283 lbs.
3rd gear (input) = 1.126 lbs.
3rd double synchro = 4.192 oz.
4th gear (input) = 1.124 lbs.
4th double synchro = 4.192 oz.
Center diff. housing (less internals) + cover + 8-bolts= 7.422 lbs.
Total weight (less packaging materials) = 16.479 lbs.
I’m assuming some cost can be saved by not shipping the C-diff. both ways to have 2mm shaved off the outer circumference & grind down bolts to clearance the new 4th as that can be done locally. I was quoted 1550euro less shipping (back in June) which comes to $1710usd. BTW, custom ratios available for no additional cost. Includes install instructions but appears to have no warranty on gears or work performed.
Length of intermediate shaft 16.5” (approx.) for calculating box length
Priority Mail Express International = $108 + additional insurance?
Customs import fee (Germany) = 117euro ($129usd)
Shipping back to the States = $108? +
US customs = $0.00 duty free (import duty & taxes)
So unless I’m overlooking something major = $2055ish. I do keep hearing it is realistically around $3000 to do the upgrade but I’m assuming that is with a third party doing the final assembly?
I’m on 4gtuner and Evo123. Not seeing “lots” of Evo guys running this setup. Matthias has 10k on his gear upgrade with no failures—the only review I've heard of. Not sure what Matthias has all done to his trans besides this upgrade but I’m assuming he at least tears it down to replace other items intermediately...can’t imagine he sees long synchro life even with the doubles. I’m not on the ECMlink forums as I run AEM EMS…anyone else have additional details/insight to share? I would like to hear from or about someone with street miles like Donnie mentioned and more about the gears in particular.
