Maybe I miss understood something,but I didn't think they were billet..I was thinking some kind of chromoly steel or something...Dave do you know for sure on the material...I call every week and Arlan says he will have 2nd gear in any week now to complete the 3 gear set...I'm defiantly one of the first in line to put it all on the line for these new gears,maybe no more shattered 1st an 2nd gears and busted cases...I can't afford another blow out....

I have not talked with Arlan just what I have read but have a guy interested in when they are available and the cost.

Hopefully Arlan is using the same guy Nate McCoy used because those gears have been holding up great.

I know from talking to Arlan that they definitely aren't aluminum. Some metal alloy I had written down before but misplaced it.

Pete@Hybrid told me the guy doing the billet trannys for Nate wasnt going to do any more. Not unlees he got a order for either 25 or 50 sets of them.

I'm pretty sure he said they were 8620 alloy steel. Maybe it was in the chat box. I did jot that down from somewhere

The gears are made from 8620 Alloy Steel. Second gear is being cut Monday. It then goes to heat treating. I am hoping to be able to ship the following week, probably Tuesday or Wednesday. Fingers crossed!!
We will be selling a set of wheel gears, countershaft 1rst, 2nd and 3rd. Introductory price is 509.85 for the set. We hope to make the complete transmission if these gears sell. We also plan to offer a service to build gears that are discontinued for the vintage market. We plan to offer shift forks also, but it all rides on whether there really is a market for these parts. It they don't sell, We will discontinue.

ya zeroshift would be the transmission of all transmissions .   it appears theyve already made some for trannys similar to dirtbikes. i imagine it would just be a matter of sending them a tranny and a pile of cash and they could make something.  it sure looks like it would be the ultimate drag tranny plus you could still ride it normal.

This is great to hear Arlan!  I hope these sell well and we see some shift forks down the road.  For reference, I believe the Yukon gears were 4320 steel so in layman terms can you comment on why you chose to go with 8620?  Better strength in that size or other reasons?

Title: LED billet trans available yet?
Post by: ledperformance on March 16, 2014, 09:17:34 PM

We believe a better hardness to strength combination.

Thanks Arlan.  Any changes to the ratios or are those the same as OEM (I assume later model years)?

Title: LED billet trans available yet?
Post by: ledperformance on March 19, 2014, 11:59:20 AM

stock ratios, 88/89

We worked on 2nd gear today. Mocked up a prototype out of aluminum to check the fit and function. A few little tweaks, and then we will build the final steel parts. I expect the gears to go to heat treat by the end of this week. Very exciting to have gears again!

Gears are go! I picked up my set...now to get the rest of the parts for the bottom end rebuild for the back up motor.

Best regards

Are these basically OEM replacements? Same ratios?  Curious what kind of power can be put down through them vs stockers or Yukon even.

Title: LED billet trans available yet?
Post by: rsss396 on August 18, 2014, 08:36:27 AM

yes these are OEM replacement with same ratio but they have more material added to them for more strength

Jeepers creepers, I ended up doing a billet 1-5 override which probably isn't completely necessary for what I'm doing.  Never seen this thread for some reason.
