The folks at Wheddle Engineering have offered to perform a feasibility study on manufacturing new lower low gears for the creeper gear in Syncros. They offered to do a bunch of work on this issue if I were to send them $100 or $200 or something like that to buy their engineering time. They said that the per-transmission cost to make up new lower ratio low gears might be on the order of $2,000 each, possibly a lot more, possibly less if ordering several sets. I am into it although I do not plan to order such a thing this year. _______________________________________________ Derek Drew New York, NY & Washington DC CEO, ConsumerSearch drew@interport.net 212-580-6486, 202-966-7907 (Work) 212-580-4459; 202-966-0938 (Home) (cell: 917-848-6425) |
