Great Gear Set
By:
These closer ratios, in conjunction with the very high rev limits of my Bonneville racing MG Midget put the power band right where it needed to be. Additionally, the straight cuts gave less parasitic power loss and less fore and aft strain on the transmission case. Watch the tach in this video, and keep in mind we're running 4:22 gears in the pumpkin. We took a push start to 30 mph, and I dumped the clutch at 9500 rpm. Note the rev drop on gear changes - considerably less than one would encounter with a stock ratio set. This run was for 126.684 in the flying mile. Once launched, the engine never left the power band, and the transmission held up beautifully . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRYNKIMGCEs If you install these yourself, get a piston ring compressor to hold the spring loaded ball bearings in place under the speed hubs, and be mindful of the pins holding the gear sets to the mainshaft - they're tricky. It's not an easy do-it-yourself project, but if you are patient, and work in a clean area, an average mechanic can do this with some difficulty, but to great success.
