Yeah this is what they have done with those gears and the reason I bought them cause it was about $1500 less than there dog box @$6199!
"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. "
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.
We have tested this set undergoing both street and track testing for over 1yr. 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!
