close ratio gear set

Hi Terry,

Can you obtain a close ratio gear set from a Carlos Sainz GT4? If not do you have something similar

It's for a gen3 box

Regards,
Rory

try this, its the only one i have come across. Last one on the list.

so Terry....any chance of a response!?

Thanx Simon - looks like this may be my solution. Do you know anyone who has this set?

na no idea mate, never heard of one being fitted

just get a lower diff ratio

lowering the diff ratio isn't going to make the gears closer together.

eckers down here has a jap close ratio gearset in his gen3.

noticably quicker gearing over my gen3.

we have no idea which gearset it is though unfortinately....

sorry i meant higher diff ratio not lower

Flupstar is running the Carlos Sainz set and loves it. They are just very hard to get. I know OS make a set but they are VERY £££

Maybe the c-one is the only option

Thankyou for the replies

I have just sold my last factory close ratio set. went overseas. I believe the jap kits are no longer available, but by all means, try.

I have had various ratio gears made over the years and it is possible to make up a kit .I have driven most of these versions and its real easy to get it totally wrong and have a disaster.

it will very much depend on what you are tyring to achieve. The race/rally kits were either 4 close packed gears with a HUGE jump to 5th., or 5 close gears with no overdrive at all. In all cases, 1st gear was taller to deal with a lower diff ratio.

email me direct at work if you want to take this any further. thanks
