Unless you have an expensive gearbox with whatever ratios you need at that particular track :wink:

Sure I run a stock crank - why else should I invent this special split seal ring to fit the stock crank of my engine.
This is with stock seal:
And after installation of the splitseal to the stock crank:
Clean as you can see.
Caused by this
The split seals is installed into the stock aluminum seal halves so that there are two sealings behind each other .
Unfortunately the gearbox has no alternative gear sets.
It is close ratio, but you can change the axle ratio, which I've never done.
If a gear doesn't fit, I drive faster to use the next one

I meant the "for sure" as an agreement. Looks like the seal is working as planned!

Just curious, what does a straight cut set of gears cost for a TR4? I looked into them for my TR adapted Toyota R154 transmission and they are about $7500 U.S. For as much as I love the sound of straight cut gears I can't justify that cost.
