How much $$ for Albins gears
gazman - November 7th, 2008 at 01:07 PM

Gonna be looking at a custom R&P and maybe a 0.70 fourth gear for the 091 box in the bus soon. It's currently geared so the V6 could tow the Titanic, but runs out of puff at 100kmh :lol: . Anyone got a rough idea what the gears are worth?

Yeah I'm probably gonna strip the box down over christmas, and was gonna call them when I was ready to order. Just thought I'd try pricing it the lazy way ;) . I did email them a few days ago but no reply yet.....

somewhere around the $1500 mark for a full set. One gearset was $400 for mine.

Cool, thanks Pete, thats about what I was expecting.

Albins got back to me today, they don't have a R&P in a suitable ratio so I'd have to pay for tooling (bout $4k... ouch!) for a custom set :sniffle: . They will do me a 0.70 4th gear for $325 + freight (which I can afford :smilegrin: ) so once I get that and fit it I'll post the results on any improvments.
