anyone using liberty face plated gears im thinking of sending mine to be faceplated want to know if its any good for about 500hp

 

its good for as much power as your gears can handle. ive asked them about this before, not TOO expensive for what it is i guess.

 

whats the advantage to running face plated gears?

 

i have a set with liberty right now, just playing the waiting game. cost me under $800 for the gears to be converted, hubs, and sliders. 1st through 4th. ill be sure to jack up the boost, and test them as soon as they get here.

the advantages that im hoping for, reduce miss shifts. the cost is close to equal of replacing hubs, slider, syncros, locks, gears. just to replace 1-2 and 3-4 hub/slider/syncros with oem cost over $600. why not fork out the extra money to have an engagement thats designed to take the abuse?

i am concerned with how much tig welding the face plates will weaken an already weak gear. im relying on my handcuff to hold everything nice and tight. i guess we will just have to wait and see.

 

Any pictures of before and after Honda gears?

 

i can post afters when i get mine back. i see no point in posting any before pictures.

they said turn around time would be 3-4 weeks, been almost 5 weeks so far.

 

from what i hear 1 month turn around time = 3 month turn around time in liberty's aspect

 

What you hear is incorrect then....

 

ive been helping my friend build his car. He ordered a new gearset. was told 3 weeks. ended up being a lil over 2 1/2 months. Constant excuses. and Horrible customer service on the phone. I remember hearing them on speaker phone a couple times.. Sorry were busy right now dont have time to track down your order... CLICK.. Hung up on.

Just hearing that made me not want to use there gears.

 

That's for a gearset. Little bit different that face plating gears....

I'm not sure when this was, but Liberty has gotten much better specifically within the last year.

 

I'd have to agree. I think they started ramping up production and been keeping the gears in stock.

Our first transmission took FOREVER to get, then within the last year, they did get better with release times on their products.

 

thanks for in put i hope what im hearing about turn around isnt true i sent my gears out and they said 3-4 weeks hoping to have car together mid april

 

totaly agree. i was told 6 weeks, turned out to be 7. stuff happens, oh well. i couldnt be more happier

 

its a dog engagement system conversion for oem gears.

 

i think i'm going to send my gears out this week! can't wait!

 

wow i think i'm going to do mine as well!

 

wow it looks like i should get some kick back or something from liberty looks like alot of guys didnt know about face plating looks like liberty is going to busy lol

 

 

looks good. they said eta on my set is next week. the only difference is i wont have a 5th gear

 

Are you guys having anything done to the gears other then the face plating, like treating them or hardening ? Liberty

 

im not having any treating done on my gears ive heard if i havent had any gear breaking problems with stock gears i should by ok what do you think

 

preload and they will last you a good while

 

I have tried heat treating and other process' and it seems like the stock gears last the longest without any treatments at all.

 

thats good info to know aleast im not speanding more than i need too

 

probably the only main options would be cryotreating or the rem process.
