Is it possible ?

Hi

is it possible to keep the stock gearset and only replace 2nd gear with a quaife gear ?


or is this not compatible ?

Thank you

It probably is okay though you may struggle to buy one gear if you don't already have a gearset. I know Andy struggled to source individual gears though he got there in the end.

You just have to tell them you own a gear set and you have broken the gear.

This. You stripped it launching the car and the others are all fine perhaps...

Wow thanks for the replys everyone !

Does 3rd gear brake as easy as 2nd gear ?


Don't know if I should buy 2nd & 3rd or 1st & 2nd , I will not be launching the car though .

Thanks again everyone

3rd and 4th are the worst to go. Not often hear about 1st and 2nd going.

...but if you've got the cash, go for the full quaife kit

thanks for your advise. i called them and they stated that 400hp at the wheels is to much power for a quaife box to handle as they only run the same size gears as the oem gears?

is this true ?

Chances are the gearcase will let go before the gears at that level. you have around somewhere around 500bhp at the fly?

I will have the brace ready to stop the case from cracking ?

Also I think it's approx 470bhp

Quaife are very conservative with their power estimates. Quite a few people running their gearsets at that sort of power. Depends on what you want to do with the car.

Not really, just don't launch the car from the lights.

What are your plans for it, road going or track car?

They wouldn't even give me a figure when I asked one of their guys at the Autosport show last year. He did look a bit concerned though when I mentioned putting over 500ft/lbs through one :lol:
