TDI/Gear sets..
Bruce…
Thanks for the info…What ratios did you end up getting…..and did you have a contact at Albins…(ie someones name) as if I order the same ratio…they may do them faster?? Did you have a hard time explaining what a syncro gear box was?? Normally people here in Perth say…”A What”?.... What is your Diff ratio??
Thanks for your help..Regards..

TDI/Gear sets..
G'day Ken
I'll also be very interested to see how the conversion goes in the future. Not
sure if I've done the right thing at this stage but it is too late now, I have
to sort it all out and get it going properly.
I'm buying the gears from Albins Gears in Ballarat. www.albinsgear.com.au They apparently are very good, they cut gears for race vehicles. They have a calculator on their web site to work out ratios. Just stick in your tyre size and gear ratios and it calculates rpm or km/h, which ever way you want to do it. I had help from the mechanics who put my engine in as well to get the 3rd to 4th spacing right.
Regards
Bruce

Hi Bruce, I was very interested to hear about your Diesel conversion…please keep us posted as to how it goes in the future…..More interesting to me though is the gear sets you have ordered….who are they through?? Contact details?? And how did you work out what ratios you needed?? have the 2.1 MV motor at the moment and would like to reduce the rev’s @ 100 kph also I'm running 235x75x15 and still think the rev’s are too high. Any advice would be greatly appreciated…
