@keltalon which 3/4 hub/slider are you running? I see that the EvoIII hub/slider is obsolete…it’s my understanding that it is the one to have as it is forged. Does TRE have any left overs? The OEM DSM ones are cast and it’s my understanding that machining them down to accept dbbl synchros diminishes strength further. This would imply the still available unmodified/single synchro DSM small hub slider is superior in strength barring getting a hold of some new EvoIII ones or good used ones. I suppose this is just another common weak link but I raise this because it would suck to explode the 3/4 H&S and subsequently trash the PAR gearset and I am curious as to what TRE recommended and set you up with and what torque limit? I hope that the revised PAR gears are indeed stronger than the previous version too and you get some considerable miles/passes out of this setup. Subscribed.
The hub and slider is a very real concern, supplies are long gone for Evo stuff, and I've seen people fight over used Evo III units. I lucked out and found a brand new Evo/HD hub & slider in France, I'm hoping it never fails, or I may be SOL.
I don't think I've seen the hub and slider fail on Matthias' gears, or the previous PAR iteration. But since PAR is willing to re-engineer the kit, I doubt they would let an obsolete hub & slider sideline their product. They would come up with a solution.
Kel, I'm curious what happened to your last transmission, too. I had really high hopes for that thing. Is it still alive?
