Thu, 17 June 2004 07:44

Group Buy - Close Ratio T50 Gear Sets from Albins Gear

Greetings All, Organising for a group buy that will go ahead in 9-12months.

Will suit the following vehicles that came standard with T50 gearboxs. (please check your under hood badge to verify you have this gearbox.)
AE86 Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno, TA22/TA23/TA27 Celica, KE70 series RWD corolla's, Some other KE series Corolla's, 82-83 Carina (3A/1S/2T-GE/3T-E), 83 Celica (3T-E,2T-GE), 82 Corona (1S) etc.

Upfront Notes: Holinger havent made gear kits for T50's for at least 10 years (they were Syncro), Quaife still make gear kits for them but you are looking at $7000 Australian plus plus. TRD gear sets that replace either the 1st 2 gears or 1st 3 gears cost 140,000Yen++ approx $1,900Aud and 210,000Yen++ approx $2,800Aud See: www.toyota-trd.com/en/comp/drive.html

------------------------

Notes in plain English:
- All Albins gears are Syncromesh
- Like all gear kits, you will need to get a mechanic or your self to disassemble your gearbox and reassemble it. Albins do not do this. This is a group buy for the gear sets only, not gearbox's. The gears replace your existing gears in your gearbox.
- They need you to send the cluster shaft and 1st/2nd and 3rd idlers, 3rd must have a dogring which is in good condition as they reuse it. Price for the 1st and 2nd sets is $570 each and 3rd is $450. Turn around for the gearsets which we have in stock is about 2 weeks and if they have to make any ratios time would be about 12 weeks. (Maybe have a contact person in each state to collect these things, when it comes close to the time, do a group send. cut cost of postage, Volenteers anyone?)

Final Note:
The more people who can save and do the group buy, the beter the discount we get.
