Received pictures of the new Albins Helical dog engagement gearset that I ordered from Bullhead Gears, so I figured I'd post them up.. Replaceable 3rd and 4th gear dogs, too.. En route from Australia..

Ratio's are 3.0 / 2.0 / 1.39 / 1.09 FD 4.4





Now I just need a billet case for it..

 

Nice. Check pm.

 

That is a nice looking setup. I have there helical synchro gearset and we've given it quite a beating and its still holding up and shifting like butter so I'm sure the dogset will be even better.

 

wow, can't wait to see this thing state side. Looks like some real Australian steel.

 

In our neighborhood, we're trying out all of the b-series dog gearsets!

 

Ok Joe, I'll try it.

 

heard about this interested to see how it holds up against ppg

 

Those look gorgeous, care to post up a price?

 

As for the price, I would contact Bullhead gears, since I'm not really sure if the mods like people posting prices in these threads, even though I dont sell the stuff, I just bought it, lol..

For what its worth, I have a PPG box in my car right now, and it works great, never a problem.. This box is just geared differently for when I (or one of my pals that breaks everything else) run 26" tires..

As with my PPG box, I'll be using the SpeedFactory shift change holder in this as well, need to order another one!

 

so im confused...i though that straight cut gears where better? dont the helical push againt each other more than straigh? or is it the other way around..for 6500 i think i would go for the ppg or the liberty+billet case...even the mfactory dog gears are 4500 +billet case thats less than 6500..but i guess the straight cut gear whining is too annoying so if this hold the power props to u....now if somebody would post pics of the miller billet case...

 

Those look badass Joe. Time to start saving my pennies.

 

Nice!

 

Cool

 

In theory a helical cut gear should be stronger because it wraps around the gear, each tooth is longer and contacts the base across more area. But according to Albins the manufacturing process for helical sets is very difficult and precise, requiring equipment that most manufacturers don't have. I still went with the PPG because it was tried and true, but Im really looking forward to seeing how the Albins holds up. Being able to replace the dogs only and not the whole gear will save a good amount of money if you miss a shift and round off the dogs. With PPG if you round off the dog engagement teeth by missing a shift it requires a new gear and hub which is appx. $1200!

My money is on it holding up just fine even in the most extreme environment!

 

Bad ***. Can you put a 5 gear on that it you would like.

 

Those look nice

 

Do they make these for K series as well?

 

Wow, repairable dogs, eh? Very nice!

 

I love the albins set, they look well thought out and the replaceable dogs (which are pretty cheap) are super awesome. I've been saving for one of these since I can't afford the ppg plus I think the helical gears will be slightly easier on the case until I can get a billet case.

 

Nice baller gearset joe

 

Is this fd set the same as the sy. set up.

 

Very nice, what kinds of power are these good for? What is the advantage of running these over the dogs? how much?

 

these are dogs?

 

Yes, these are dogs, just with helical cut. Dog only means that it doesnt take synchros. They have both helical and straight dog gears.

I will be getting the K series 1-2 dog, 3-4 synchro and stock 5th all helical cut for my setup

 

Contact Erik at Bullhead, They should be done with the K series sets SOOON
