ZF Rebuild kits

Jeff,

Got an email this evening from my supplier, they have advised me they can make the ratios you requested based on the samples provided, I'm going to put the order in in the am and will email you when arrived.

4-6 Weeks turnaround (I'm expecting a large order in from them in 4 weeks, so i hope they can squeeze these gears in at the same time, i'll keep you posted) Price should be around $300-$400.00 per gear depending on tooling costs.

Hhmmm...hard to complain about that...considering all the work involved, IMO.

Sounds great Kurt. I'll talk to you about it some more at SGC.

Let me know when the synchros and gasket kit are available.

That's a great price if it includes the drive and driven gears for 5th and 6th. I can see $300-$400 per gear on the countershaft since they separate from the shaft, but the gears on the output shaft are part of the shaft meaning a new output shaft too. That means even if you only replace one gearset, both "gears" still have to be made on the output shaft. Am I missing something?

The price of $300-$400.00 is per gear, the main shaft has yet to be priced, (This will be under $500.00 though i do know) but you are correct & that the manufacture is indeed making 5th & 6th gear, as well as the main shaft. Since i am having them make the main shaft that will work on the Lotus Carlton as well, we have that market too to help off set some of the costs. The Lotus carlton main shaft will work on the ZR-1, but the ZR-1 main shaft will not work on the Calrton.

If anyone, other than ZFDOC can figure out why the Lotus Carlton main shaft will fit the ZR-1, but the ZR-1 will not work on the Lotus Carlton, i'll give you a free set of engine main bearings.

You can only post one answer & i'll run the offer until Tuesday 6pm est. The 1st person that guesses correctly, gets the bearings.

overall lenght of the shaft.

ooppss "main shaft"

Lack of speedo gear

[Polo-1]

did this get answered??

[limey]

Never did get answered i'm afraid. The correct answer is the LC has a type of output shaft that bolts to the main shaft, whereas the Corvette has a slip yoke.

An update on the gears & it's the SOS.

They can make the gears for me $50.00 each
Main shaft $200.00 each

Minimum qty:

Gears 300 each
Main shaft 500 each

So, forget about getting different gear ratios.
