We are proud to introduce to the Honda community another top-tier gear supplier we have been working with - Albins Off Road Gears. Albins offers a full range of race, street and drag gear applications. With over 25 years experience in race and rally gearsets, we feel Albins will be a great addition to compliment the high end products we currently offer.

Albins corporate profile: http://www.albinsgear.com.au/

"Albins has a 25 year history of motorsport drivetrain manufacture and is currently the largest high performance transmission manufacturer in the Southern Hemisphere. Albins Off Road Gear is an Australian Proprietary Limited Company that specializes in the design and manufacture of drivetrain components. Our capabilities include the ability to produce; individual gears, axles, drive flanges and ring and pinions right through to complete unit, sequential shift transmissions. Utilizing ISO 9001 2000 certified manufacturing techniques, our team of over 40 employees implements up to the minute design trends to create product that is currently in use in such places as Dakar Rally, Baja 1000, Australian V8 Supercars as well as various European and Australasian Rally Championships. "

Albins has just released a production run of Honda B series helical synchromesh gears for xtreme duty street cars that also do occasional track work.

The Albins gears are made from a proprietary grade steel billet that is then cut and heat treated to exacting standards then cross-checked via a robotic CMM machine that analyses any discrepancies brought about by heat treatment. This process is part of Albins ISO 9001/2000 quality assurance and can be done prior to the final anti-fatigue shot-peening process which is another point of difference we love about this product. Fatigue life can be extended on certain components by up to 8 times that of a non-treated component and when we are talking gears, this is a major plus with the Albins product and results in less pitting and wear. Ratios work great for both street and track and pricing is extremely competitive for a product that has come out of a factory that makes product for factory rally teams, Dakar rally podium finishers, Baja 1000 winners and top level touring car teams across the globe.

This set has been undergoing both street and track testing for several months now in the 800-950whp range with zero failures, and has run 9.4 sec in the 1/4 mile at 164+ mph during testing. These gears are a very exciting product for those who need extreme strength along with quiet, streetable operation for their xtreme street/strip vehicle.

Designed as a direct fitment 1-4 set (use stock 5th gear), into stock B series casings, these gears are helically cut and are designed to share the thrust loads more evenly through the B series gearbox casing unlike some straight cut gears. Another added benefit to the Albins design is REPLACEABLE 3rd/4th engagement cones/dog teeth that are usually built onto the gear. With Albins, even if you damage the dog teeth, you can replace this part without the added expense of having to purchase a whole new replacement gear!

1-4 set = $3550 Ratios: 3.0 / 1.87 / 1.33 / 1.0
Final Drive = $975 Ratios: 4.4, 4.2, Custom are available.

Nice! Replacable syncro teeth on the gear are a huge advantage!

 

I need money!!!!

 

PM me the intro pricing please?

 

We have been testing this gearset with great results in both our 950+whp car as well as Zol's 800+whp street ek.

Very high quality, and the replaceable teeth on the gears is priceless!

We can also make a similar set for the H series if anyone is interested.

 

can you purchase the gear set indivdually like the k-series ppg stuff?

 

nice. any plans for s2000 gears?

 

1-2 or 3-4 etc can be purchased separate

Not at the moment, PPG has a great s2k set.

 

any pics on how to replace teeth? or u mean the whole gear..im trying to picture it..

 

Look at the gear in the above picture that is closest to the Final drive, the replaceable part slides onto the splines you can see there, The picture below is a close up picture of the replaceable peice(dog teeth and synchro cone)

 

Looking good Eric. Really like the removable sycro engagement.

 

Hi everyone i am new to this forum but i think i did a good job by joining this forum because i got to learn great things from your posts happy new year to you

 

I love this gearset. It's handled everything we've been able to throw at it. I drive the car on the street all the time and drivability is pretty awsome.

It would be nice if you had dog rings for owners that want to step up from the synchros. Though I guess the load may be more than the splines could handle? At what power level do you recommend using the top brace over 5th gear? I know on a street car losing 5th is a big deal, but losing gears or a tranny is worse!

 

can you pm me the price on 3-4 gear set with shipping to 33035 thanks

 

We are going to do dogs. The splines can handle the dog engagment as well, and these removable parts will be a part of all Honda sets that are coming, B dog, K dog, K synchro, etc.

 

Thanks Eric, can't wait to get mine for the K

 

Always love to see new things out on the market that improve our sport!

 

We are extremely impressed with Albins design and capabilities, we have lots of great things in the works that will be out in the next few months that will be worth the wait.....

A few more pics of the two peice design of the current B series synchro sets.

 

Beautiful gears!

 

any updates on the K-series sets???

 

On schedule for end of April

 

I have been waiting on these to come out for months now since I talked to you guys at bullhead about this. Its been a year now. I hope it comes out soon. I have to put this car back on the road again. Its my daily driver, I have been having to drive my beater around for the last year and I can't take it anymore, lol. I have rebuilt the tranny a ton of times with OEM parts and the gears just don't hold up and I really didn't want a straight cut set. These things were meant for my car. PM me some contact info for you guys. I am one the road for work all the time and I don't normally have computer access when I am away for work. Send me a phone number to call you guys at. Email me your contact info to archull@hotmail.com

 

I need a set too...now please
