Moderators I apologize if this is in the wrong forum but I thought since this would mostly be directed at drag racers I would put it here.

My question is those of you that are doing the Liberty Face Plated gears, are you sending them to racerstev for heat treating afterwards?? Also are you happy with the face plating? How is it holding up? I shattered my heat treated GSR gear set after only making 1 pass on them, I think I need a Tilton fluid control valve too as I wasn't able to preload very well with the twin disk.

 

I just talk to racersteve about this and he said that need to send him the gears first. My gear set is on the way back from faceplating. I wish i would have known that first. I would also like to know how it is holding up for other people. Hope to be able to run mine at the next ifo.

 

I haven't seen heat treating them really help out... I've had my transmission out and apart twice since i put the faceplates in and the gears and hubs still look like new! They have even been through a 1-2-1 shift! :/ But all of them look great still!

 

How long have you been running them. What oil did you run in the trans.How much power have you put on them.

 

I still use honda transmission fluid... I have had them since october. About 1k-2k miles on them. I was only making low to mid 400s. I know that's not much power, but i have already had experience with cryoing my countershaft and ring gear previously and it didn't seem to help. I have mostly heard from many others on here saying it didn't make a difference also...

 

I have a fd that racersteve did for me about a year ago and had great luck with it. It has about 100 passes and about 6000 street miles on it and it looks good. Were i was breaking one about ever 10 passes. There is some one on here that has about 800hp that run his ht on there gear set and they said it held up good.

 

i did NOT have my face plated gears heat treated. theyre almost a year old, have about 12 test and tunes, 2 events, and a few nights out on them. still shifts perfect! i couldnt be happier with them. if only it didnt take 3 months to get em back from liberty.....

 

my face plating took 3 weeks on my old gsr tranny with the conversion done. I loved it, didnt have it treated.

 

so what did all you guys pay to have this face plating done?

 

I just go mine back 3 weeks later and it was 720 plus ship.

 

I paid 750 i think when i had it done.

 

what all do you ship them?

 

the 4 shifted gears

 

Mine are there now! Hoping they come back soon cause i need to get this thing back togther!!!

 

Just the actual gears? so no need to send final drive or anything else? I know when I sent my gears to racersteve last year I sent everything to him

 

You send them the gears that need the work done on them.. Since the final drive has nothing to do with shifting gears, there is no need to send it to them. All they need are the gears you want to have faceplated and the hubs/sliders I believe.

 

sorry to bump this back up.

so this gets rid of all the stock sleeves then? thinking about doing this rather than replacing all my crapped out sleeves.

 

are you talking about the sliders that move from gear to gear? Yes they replace those in this setup.
