Evo3 gears

[kittay]

What are your guy's thoughts on the gears? Good/ bad reviews would be appreciated!

I was just curious how the Evo 3rd-4th gears compare to the 91 3rd-4th gears. If they are as strong as the 91, or are they undercut like the 93+?

I like the fact that they are close ratio and double syncro, but I see shep uses something different for his 3-4th?

I have torn apart my tranny, and pretty much everything was junk, or not something I would trust. I have a twin disc to run with my new tranny. I just want something that will hold up and last.

I'm pretty noob in the tranny field, so please help educate me

Is there anyone on here running evo3 gears? Esp making 5-600hp?

Have you checked out Jackstransmissions.com? The gears are expensive, I wanted to get them but I'm not sure if it'll fit my FWD(f5m33).

 

[kittay]

Yes, I have looked on Jacks and TRE.

I just never found information regarding how well they will hold up

 

[DSMTriad]

Only one way to find out. Expensive though.

They are the strongest helical gears you can get IMO. We have quite a few people in the 600hp range that use them and so far they have been great!

Do they fit the FWD turbo trans?

I believe so.

Kitty: Do you need the gears part numbars?

Got a few more parts to sell and hopefully will be picking up some gears from Jacks

I was thinking of picking up one of your NT TB's and Fuel Rails but I don't have the funding right now

Lol no problem. I have a few left. Just shoot me a pm if you get a few extra bucks, and if you get the two I'll make a package deal

I'm sorry to say no the EVOIII gears do not fit the FWD trans. You can use the taller EVOIII 5th, but that's it. The gears in the FWD units are a different animal than the AWD units.

That's no good but it can't be helped. Oh well.

You can weld the center diff in an AWD trans and use it instead. The AWD units have stronger gears anyway. You would have to swap the starter plate, weld the center diff, and get an AWD FW. Depending on year you might have to swap the shafts too.

Well that works. Something for me to look into.
