that's not that great a deal

gruppe-s everyday price for those is $1249.00

gruppe s also rarely gets them in.

We've been selling them at this price for a very long time. Plus we get about 5-10 gearsets per month which is not a lot. I didn't post this ad to say I had the best deal going. It's to let the WRX'ers know we have one left.

Actually I just took a look at our orders from the weekend. We're all SOLD OUT now.

Thanks,

It says that the gears are good for well over 300 wheel horse power. Any idea what the limit is? I am getting ready to finish work on my car and will have 360-400 at the wheels and will need to most likely do some tranny work in the near future.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Nick

it appears gruppe-s also sells their kit w/ out synchros (250 seperate) which would make their prices about the same...

That is of course assuming that Anthony's kit comes w/ the synchros... Does it?

I'm also interested in the power limits of these gears because I'm not all about spending $3000 on Kaaz gears.

how is having sold them at that price justify or give a good explanation for being more expensive then competitive gruppe s? very circular reasoning here :confused: (not to be a wise !$%) :banana:

i can imagine a lot id can do with the extra $250 :alien: thats an free up pipe right there

Do you need a gearset? :rolleyes: This is what I sell it for...if you want to buy it from Gruppe-S that is no skin off my back..from my knowledge Gruppe-S doesn't sell their gearsets with everything you need for install. Which includes gaskets, nuts, bolts, speedo gear, etc. We do. Nuff said.

rallispec mentioned a special speedo gear needed for the 2.5RS guys cause if you install the same one the teeth will strip or something...makes sense?

Kevin, you're correct, the gearsets have the speedo gear which is different for the RS and the WRX...we would need to know which vehicle you have :)

Originally posted by MustGoFast

No you can use OEM WRX syncros with our set...you do not need to buy the V6 syncros. Some others that sell this gearset have to use all of the V6 syncros...however ours do not require them. They only require your original syncros or USDM WRX ones.

Most of the time the syncros are in good shape and don't need to be replaced. However, if you need them then they can be purchased through any Subaru dealership.

so now you know for sure gruppe s is a much better deal at -$250

Now why don't you read closer. Our kit comes with everything you need for install like I explained before...(i.e. custom speedo gear, gaskets, nuts, bolts, and fitting kit for WRX or RS that includes proper washers etc. ) These things add up in price and we include the shipping which is about another $30. Even more to the Netherlands :lol:

Also, if I am not mistaken Gruppe-S's kit requires the purchase of their syncros. I believe the syncros they sell are Ver. 6 syncros. Which means they are selling a different part numbered gearset then the one we sell. The V6 gearset we sell, from rallispec, comes with gears that do not require special syncros. You can use OEM USDM WRX syncros.

Not to mention the item was INSTOCK and NOT backordered 6 weeks like other vendors. $1450 shipped is our price on gearsets. If a customer has a transmission that is blown and they need a gearset asap do you think they're going to pay $1299 and wait 6 weeks until they can drive again? Or get the right gearset, with the correct parts for $1450 and have their tranny fixed quickly?

What would you do Jayhova? Besides just whore my thread?

Originally posted by jayhova

How do you know this? Why are you misleading people? I have customers that have babied their WRX's and still blow 2nd and 3rd gear. It can happen to anyone. All it takes is a sharp turn in 2nd or 3rd and your foot down on the gas pedal.

Are you a certified Subaru mechanic? :rolleyes:

Yeah Kaaz is actually not going to be making those gearsets anymore too. I was told it's being discontinued. What are your mods?

byebye?

:mad:I can't speak for anyone else, but one thing that pisses me off is when someone (in this case Mauro Motorsports) posts something for sale and they give a certain price with said item. Then someone comes along and says, "I can get it for $XXX from www.insertwebaddresshere.com"

Well, if you can get it for a different price from somewhere else then do it. No one is making you buy it from any specific person or company.

In this case, with the RA gearsets, jayhova is apparently not interested in purchasing a set from Mauro because of the price, so why is he posting in this for sale thread? If you are not interested in buying the item that is for sale don't post in the thread.

It's as easy as that.

Once again, in short:
If you aren't interested in what the seller has for sale, don't post in their thread.

Flame me all you want.

Nick

Well looks like we have another newbie, jayhova. It isnt right to trample someone elses thread like that, Mauromotorsports happens to be a great vendor and does not mislead people like some other vendors, not goin to mention names because its not right, the difference between the gears mauro gets and the other vendor gets is that Mauros set comes with all gaskets and accesories needed to install the set plus it uses USDM syncros and is more readly available from mauro unlike some other companies, which i have just called, that need 6 weeks lead time to get the set


I have been purchasing parts off Anthony for a long time now and coincidently i just bought and installed a RA gearset from him, the service he offers is second to none and he is always willing to help out his customers to the best of his ability, the gearset i just purchased comes with all the gaskets and neccisary parts you need to put the box together, i know cause i just did it, oh and anthony thanks a million the tranny works great, it brought the fun to drive factor back into the car with the better ratios.



Like i said before jayhova its not right to post something like that in a vendors post. its just not right, how would you like it if you were selling something and another newbie came along and said redxbob is selling something almost the same and its cheaper...... its very missleading to the person looking to buy the product and not fair to the vendor, besides id rather support a small vendor over the larger companies because the will work for your buisness and not just brush you off iff you have a lot of questions

I don't need your business to "survive." My business is much bigger then you think so put your comments to rest please.

Jayhova, this is not the right forum for your comments. Please take the argument to the vendor review or parts forums. Please be courteous to others. Simmer down guys.

Nothing to bring the Subaru community together like a good argument.

This post deserves a banana.:banana:

when you get the regular sti v6 gears in how much do those cost? which gearset would be more beneficial to my RS-T? and does the regular v6 gearset come with the stuff to install it? thanks

Exactly what I wanted to hear. If you ever catch anyone using a Green and exceeding 400whp on these gears, please let us know. But 300-380whp is a great range; it puts me right around there. So you get a few of these a month? Do you install? Thanks.

Both the RA and Non-RA versions are the same materials and strengths. The only difference is that they have different ratios. Same price...Non-RA comes with a few different parts for fitment into a WRX or RS. :)

Believe me if I find someone doing so I'll be sure to note that on our site! :)

Thanks for the feedback and questions guys.

Maybe this thread will come in handy, there is a post from Dave of Rallispec himself :

jayhova,

Enjoy those warning points! :)

And to anyone else who might not know this, it is VERY BAD form to attack a vendor in their own for sale thread.

If you are not interested in making a purchase, please keep your nose out of the thread.

Also, another rule of thumb, which you may have heard before, If you can't say anything nice, then keep your big trap shut!

Anybody that does not understand the above, feel free to contact me and I will explain it in detail.

I showed this thread to a machinist/mechanical engineer buddy of mine at work and he felt for the parts you receive in this deal, it would be well worth it. He was particularly impressed that the gears would come cryo treated for such little money. This from a guy with over 30 years experience in machining and engineering who deals with parts vendors/bidding on a daily basis. If he thinks it would be worth it if I grenaded my tranny, I'm likely to believe him.
Rock on guys.

Thanks for the input! I can't even count the number of gearsets I've sold to WRXr's and RS guys. I haven't heard any negative feedback about them yet.

More on the way next month.

Thanks,
Anthony

jayhova, please don't come back ;)

See ya. More proof that we need a member # cap.

I am just doing some research, and I wondered what the approximate change in cruising RPM's would be in 5th at around 70 mph. Or, really, what the change would be from a stock USDM. What do people who make the change think about the difference in shift points and the final drive?

I think this gearset is a great deal compared to other options on the market right now. Thanks for any opinions!!

I read somewhere that cruising at ~75 in 5th puts you up to ~3500 rpm. I'll look for the link later. I have a buddy that has done the swap, I'll pick his brain too.

Yes you are correct....around 3500 @ 75mph

Nice. I hope my tranny remains intact, but this is the repair/swap for certain if I start to have problems. Thanks! :)

I am sorry I missed out on the last set. Do you have any Idea when you will get another set in. I am having my tranny broken down as we speak.

Let me see if I can pull some strings

Just snapped 2nd gear on 02 wagon. Am interested. I do like gruppe-s, but it sounds like you have some happy customers also.

So your gearset is the same as G-s, just do not need the $250 in synchro's?

And yes, it was my fault it went.

Sorry guys...next gearsets aren't here for at least another 2 weeks.

Do you guys get the non-ra? The car that I'm putting them into needs ratios that are well suited for drag racing. We're looking at a wrx powered by a green, and i read that you said they have same strength which is good to hear; however, I need the ratios for the track. Thanks.

Also, my car is running an axis block with a t67 from greddy, need some gears to drag this. I am using the stock gears and have held up fine to this point. I don't want to wait until I blow them, and I need advice, will these gears hold the power? I'll be running 28+psi on C16.. thanks again.


Clarence

I bought the STi RA set from Anthony and had it installed by the "good guys " at Rallispec ~ 15K miles ago. Grinding 1st gear downshifts, etc. are not a concern, this gearset has been perfect so far w/ 307whp and hard accelleration following many fast launches. I now have a 5th gear that is fun/pulls hard. At 80mph, I am turning 3700rpm according to my S.E.C.S. monitor. I have lost 1-2 mpg, but this is also correlated w/ a TD04 to VF22 upgrade @ the same time.

Hope this helps.:)

Yes I sell the Non-RA also, both are unavailable at this time. Another few weeks until we see more .

PM me when they are available. Thanks.


clarence

yea 75 mph ~ 3500 rpm, 65mph ~2900 rpm i say this all in aproxamation because my speedo is in km not mph, 5th gear is fine for the highway cruise in the ra gear, i drive ~70 miles a day highway on it and the rpm's arent too high and the car gets up and goes when you step on it unlike the regular wrx 5th where it kinda accelarates


no complaints about the gas milage either i realy didnt notice much of a change

You got it....If there's anyone else that will need a gearset I get about 5-8 per month. I can order Non-RA's to come in as well. If there is anyone who needs to get on our waiting list PM me and I'll make a tentative list so I know how many I'll need. No deposits necessary. :cool:

Ant

I believe I ordered either your last set or second to last set. I just wanted to say that I think it is a very good deal compared to others considering shipping is free and it comes with the extra required parts. The only thing that I think needs to be addressed is returning phone calls. I recieved the gears 3 weeks after ordering them.

Thanks

Looking for a ra gear set around September since I'll be swaping in an usdm sti block. I dont want it lying around till then will it be the same price then, if not could I put a deposit to hold it?

Do you have a speedo gear that matchs the RA gearset? Have the RA gears but not the right speedo gear.:confused:

Mauro thx

Looking at the gear ratios on a graph line and Third gear is from 1.545 to 1.151, in Fourth. That seems really short. Is there a reason for that?
Being stronger is a given.

Do people with the RA gearset like or dislike the gearing compared to stock.

I haven't had any complaints about the ratios at all. You're right they are much shorter compared to stock. Here's another look at the ratios. It's really not that much of a transition compared to the stock 3rd-4th transition. The difference between the two are nearly the same. I've driven both the RA and Non-RA and I lean towards the RA for Auto-X use and the Non-RA for drag racing. Just my opinion.

Stock WRX Ratio:
3.454 (1st)
1.947 (2nd)
1.366 (3rd)
0.972 (4th)
0.738 (5th)

STi RA ratios:
3.083 (1st)
2.062 (2nd)
1.545 (3rd)
1.151 (4th)
0.825 (5th)

STi (Non-RA) ratios:
3.166 (1st)
1.882 (2nd)
1.296 (3rd)
0.972 (4th)
0.738 (5th)

Can you guy sell me a gearset with a different 5th gear, so I dont cruise on the freeway at 8500 rpm!!!! :)

So what MPH would you top out at with the STI RA gears?

Can you guy sell me a gearset with a different 5th gear, so I dont cruise on the freeway at 8500 rpm!!!! :)


Um, looks to me like the STi non-RA gear set has the same 5th gear as the WRX or am I missing something? :confused:

Can you guy sell me a gearset with a different 5th gear, so I dont cruise on the freeway at 8500 rpm!!!! :)


You can use your stock 5th gear with the RA gearset.

InfamousDX: Redline at 7250 would be about 160 mph.

The Non-RA 4th and 5th gear ratios are identical to stock. You wouldn't need to cruise at 8500rpm with either setup.

Top speed is about 10-12mph lower then stock...nothing drastic. Now if you had a 4.444 rear diff that would be a much different story.

I do not recommend using stock 5th gear with the RA gearset. The 4th to 5th transition will not be fun.

Did this comparison in excell. To hard for me to visualize without a picture. :)

None sorry :( soon

Please let me know when you get them!!!!!!!! :(

You guys that are waiting for gearsets...e-mail me your first and last names and telephone numbers. I'll put you on the list. Send e-mail to anthony@mauromotorsports.com

Non-RA gearsets have come off backorder in Japan...we have some on the way now. I have a few avaialble still. Just thought I'd give a heads up.

are the non ra as strong as the ra sets?

The only difference should be in the ratios based on info earlier in this thread, did you read the whole thing? Check post number 41

sorry didnt read the whole thing, i just need a set to go w/ the rest of my build, which im completely obsessed w/!

Here is the coparison. Did it in increments of .03 for each set. Have no idea if this is the proper format for gears but it gives an idea.

P.S.: I am definetly going to use the stock 5th gear. If I get it back together.

do you have any non ra gearsets still in stock? blew my tranny. thks

Sorry not until the end of the month. Better get on the list.

I wouldn' recommend using the stock 5th gear...you'll be pulling hard in 4th and when you hit 5th well i think it'll bog out.

My gears are on their way!!! :disco: :banana: :devil:

Samwy...what e-mail address did you send the request to??? Sam, did you ever get a confirmation from us? Every person who has called or e-mailed me a request to be on our waiting list automatically gets sent an e-mail with an invoice from us. Please let me know if that is the case.

The only people i've contacted are those that are on my list...if you didn't e-mail me or call then you are not on the list. I have people on NON-RA gearset lists, but I simply have this last RA gearset sitting here with people on my list who obviously don't need it at this point.

If someone on my waiting list here doesn't contact me by 12pm tomorrow afternoon then the gearset is up for grabs. First person to order it through my website gets it...not sure what else to do. :(

Ant

Anthony,

I just went to your website and ordered the gearset. I also left a message on the machine. Let me know if anything changes.

BAH :mad:

I sent you an email but I didn't get an auto-invoice in return.

?

I never got an auto invoice either

Both invoices will be e-mailed on Monday...incredibly busy on Friday. I've got the e-mails though and you are on my RA list.

Thats fine :)

How big is this RA list atm?

I'm up to about 8 people on the RA as of today...and the NON-RA is a bit shorter.

Hmm, whats your NON-RA list looking like. same price?

I still am not on the RA list.

did not get an auto invoice

Ok i"ll send them out again...looks like two other people didn't get the invoices either.

Still no invoice. what the heck is going on???

i sent everyone invoices...either way you're on my list i'm not sure why you didn't get it...check your spam folder maybe?

i sent everyone invoices...either way you're on my list i'm not sure why you didn't get it...check your spam folder maybe?
checked, and I doublechecked the sent items I gave the correct email addy. :confused:

k i'll try sending it from a different e-mail address...sorry abou that :(

My 4th gear synchro is starting to go out, so I am thinking about upgrading my tranny now, but I have a couple of questions...

I'm just curious how much of a difference in acceleration the RA gearset is going to make on a TurboXS Stage 4 car? Should I expect any difference in 1320 time and if so, how much? Also, how much money should I expect to put aside to have the tranny rebuilt/assembled? I am capable of dropping the tranny, so I am just concerned with actual "bench time" of assembling it.

called rallispec today
they charge $700 flat fee to install the RA gearset

I checked my spam folder.

I sent an email and still no invoice for the RA gearset.

wu.sammy@gmail.com

Hey mauromotorsports. Put me on the RA list. My email is TrizzyDizzy@hotmail.com.

I am interested in the gearset. What I want to know is, will this gearset grind when I try to shift into 1st? I see that it uses the stock syncos. I can't shift the stock tranny into 1st while the car is rolling. I need the added strength, but also want to get rid of the grinding.

If its already grinding, then it is your synchros, and shouldnt have anything to do with the new gears. And either way, you shouldnt put the car in first while rolling (unless like 5mph or less). 2nd gear is low enough to shift into at slow speeds, hell its low enough to take off in.

Did you guys order any?

Did you guys order any?

What do you mean? We have a bunch still on backorder... :confused:

Then I guess there is no need to order the gearset if that won't solve my problem. BTW, I am tired of people telling me not to downshift to 1st when the car is rolling. Do you know how many seconds you lose on a pivot cone during an autox by staying in 2nd? I do, its exactly the difference between 1st place and 3rd place in my region.

Do you know how many seconds you lose on a pivot cone during an autox by staying in 2nd? I do, its exactly the difference between 1st place and 3rd place in my region.

If you had your car tuned correctly and had the proper exhaust you can minimize some of that lag you have in second. You need more low end torque. The RA gearset will help because 1st is much longer and second is rather short. You can also change your differentials to a 4.444 setup and you won't have to worry about that pivot cone anymore.

My car is tuned properly...I just got back from the dyno. I am putting down more than a stock STi. I am not trying to be an *** here, I just wanted to know if these gears would fix that problem. This is a well known Subaru issue. I would like to SOLVE the problem. Using 2nd gear, changing diffs, etc, are just work arounds. MauroMotorsports, you have a good rep on here and I wouldn't mind doing business with. If you know what would fix the grinding(besides STi tranny swap) and you sell those parts, I would be very interested buying them from you. What would you recommend to solve the problem?

Oh joey, my bad, i thought u were talking about the grinding for normal driving. I just thought it you wouldnt need it because of the slow speeds, didnt think u were autoxing. Well in that case, the 1st gear on the RA gears is soo much longer iver heard, so yeah, it should be able to help!

Sorry Trizzy, didn't mean to jump on you the way I did in my reply. I am just having a bad day.

First question...what fluid are you using? If you are using synthetic that is simply a no no with these gearsets as well as the stock gearset. Basic 80-90 weight fluid is a much better choice. The slip modifiers in synthetic simply do not help to mesh these gears the way they should. So if you have synthetic...remove it...put regular fluid in...then after a few more miles (say 50-100) drain it and put more regular fluid in. See if that cures the issue a bit. If not...you may need new 1st and 2nd gear syncros.

I think a lot of WRX owners will notice from the showroom floor that 1st gear is a major pain to deal with. My second question is...do you just have the first gear grinding or other gears as well? It's very hard to shift into 1st with a WRX to begin with...it might be a tad easier to get into it with this gearset, but I wouldn't say it's 100 times better.

Will the gearset solve the problem? Possibly but it can't be guaranteed. Most of the time syncros are to blame, but WRX transmissions have a lot of stress put on them. The tranny is one of the weakest links in the vehicle when it comes to transferring power to the wheels, which is one of the main reasons why this gearset sells the way it does. The ver. 6 RA and NON-RA gearsets are some of the strongest gears that Subaru has ever made...and with the addition of cryo treatment I've seen these gears hold quite a bit more then 350whp. However, these gearsets CAN break if not driven with finess and maintained properly which is very much like the USDM WRX gearset. Just like the USDM WRX gearset, the RA and NON-RA can also break when the wrong fluid is used ( i.e. synthetics), a harsh clutch is used, or abusive driving takes place. If you look at the history of all racing and/or rallying parts are replaced constantly due to wear and tear. If you are rolling your Subaru out with 400whp you have to expect something to break sooner or later.

Third, you might be making more power then an STi...but I am sure that power is not made in the lower RPM range where you need it. The STi also has a 2.5L and a 6speed with much closer gear ratios. Those closer gear ratios make a world of difference on a tight track. That's why I asked about the parts in your WRX and/or power you are making. In other words you might have a Vf30, but the lag of the VF30 is going to cause issues for an Auto-Xer like yourself. A ported/polished VF23 or even the stock turbo will have more bottom end compared to a VF30. What you would need is a lot of low-end torque to get those wheels moving around that pivot cone earlier. It takes power and a short gear ratio to get 3000lbs moving in a turn. ;)

Just a note here, Joey1313, this in not all in reference to you, your car, or your driving so please do not think i'm aiming my responses at you only :)..it's mostly in reference to the types of questions I receive about these gearsets all the time, which also happens to answer some of your questions.

Thanks fire your questions my way...I'm always glad to help out.

Ant

question...im on the list for the gearsets? and how much longer???

question...im on the list for the gearsets? and how much longer???

Im going to find out if there's any updates as far as waiting goes...but as far as I know there is still a pretty bad backorder on both types :(

I am using the stock fluid in the trans. I've drained it and replaced it with more stock fluid(from the subie dealer). I am still running the stock turbo and on the dyno in 3rd gear I am making full boost at 2800. You are correct about not having enough torque on the bottem end. That is why I want to be able to use 1st gear. In 2nd, I can count the seconds in my head as I wait for the engine to rev up again. I don't like left foot braking to keep it in boost and I don't like pulling the ebrake for the pivot cone. I would prefer to just shift like everyone else. The grinding only occurs during downshifting to 1st. All of the other shifts up or down are fine. Subaru tells me this is normal. It has done this since the first week I bought the car. It had 3 miles on it when I bought it. I was hoping the aftermarket would be able to address the problem since Subaru won't. I haven't ran since the upgrades, being that they were last weekend, but I have an autox on Sunday. It is a different car now, so hopefully that will help:). Thank you for giving me a detailed answer(nobody has given me one cept you). And thank you for being so professional while dealing with my attitude earlier.
Sorry for jacking the thread. If I have to tear it down to replace syncros anyway, I might as well stick your gears in her at the same time.

Hey anytime...hopefully we'll get a ton of gearsets in shortly and we can get everyone rolling asap. Always ready to help out :)

Let me know if i can do anything else for anyone.

Thanks,
Anthony

how this ratios compare to the RS?

Hey Mauro, you plan on having any gearsets in stock in the next two weeks? My trans is already gone and I am just waiting to get some cash together to make this happen.

Just to kill some rumors I have seen on the forums, people seem to think if you drive correctly, that a stock transmission will last throughout. My car has less than 32K when I started having problems with my gearset, and they completely went at 42K. My car produces less than 270hp, and I consider myself a very conservative driver. I have probably seriously launched my car maybe, maybe ten times from a stop, I do a lot high way driving though, so with even very little mods, the stock trans becomes a serious risk.

As far as stock goes...I have nothing. I have nearly 20 people on waiting lists from RA to non-RA...I am awaiting a shipment from Japan, but will not be able to cover everyones orders since they are coming in dribs and drabs. If you need a gearset I will be taking care of the people on my list first...once they are taken care of I'll have room for more orders. At this time I'm looking into picking up as many as possible, but everyone needs to be somewhat patient due to the large demand for this product.

Anthony

so im on the list, right?

I have probably seriously launched my car maybe, maybe ten times from a stop, I do a lot high way driving though, so with even very little mods, the stock trans becomes a serious risk.

I guess I've been really lucky or I have a freakish stock USDM 5spd. I'm running Utec Stage IV and stock transmission. As of today, I have 101,000 miles on the odometer and the transmission is still holding up like a champ (knock on wood). With the last trans oil change, my shop swapped out the fluid with Royal Purple after I initially requested regular oil. The transmission doesn't seem to be any worse off.

As far as driving style, I do drive the car pretty hard sometimes, usually flooring it going onto entrance ramps and such. Granted, the majority of my miles have been on the highway, but I like to have fun. For example, cruising at 70 mph in 4th gear, I'll double clutch/rev match into 3rd and wind it out to redline when I really want to go. I would say that I've launched the car hard maybe 5 times tops. The rest of the time I slip the clutch. I tend to favor quick acceleration as opposed to regular driving. IMHO, my tranny has taken some beating but who knows how I compare to others in terms of abuse to the tranny. I have auto-crossed the car 3 times when it was stock. Never been to the drag strip. At the mileage that I'm at, I know the trans will go sooner rather than later. But for the record, it has survived over 100,000 miles of "spirited" driving.

so im on the list, right?

What's your name? I have everyone's names phone numbers and e-mail address in my database...not their screen names.

Hey Mauro, I would definitely like to be put on your list for a RA spec Gearset. Unfortunately I am beg borrow and pleading for a ride just to get to work right now, so whomever I can get what I need from I will have to go with just to make sure I keep my J-O-B. But you seem to have a good deal and I want if nothing else to put a set on reserve, by the time you have it, I will definitely have the money by the way it sounds. What is the wait now, 1 month possible?!?...PLZ....

Yessir

how long of wate for non STi RA gearsets ?

I emailed you with my info., please let me know if I gave you enough info. and approximately how far down the list I am, I am in serious need of my vehicle, bumming rides is getting really old for everyone including myself on my end....

I've got three RA gearsets coming to me...possibly one extra. Non-RA is a week or two out from here on. I'm sending e-mails to the first three on my list since I will be collecting payment. If I have extra then #4 will hear from me.

Attn: SammyWu I need your e-mail addy.

Thanks,

Rodney, I've got your e-mail...the list is rather large :( Hoping they start coming in a bit faster now.

Ant

Thanks for the fast reply... Will be wainting with fingers crossed...

Mauromotorsports is a good vendor. I ordered from him last year during the blackouts they had back East. I was really surprised he contacted me as soon as he did.

Yeah I actually used the dial-up that time! Was running on laptop batteries hahaha.

Ummm yeah guys on my waiting list who I e-mailed today where are you? I have a long list of people waiting for gearsets. If the first three don't come out and give me the nod that they're still in then I'm moving on to the next customers.

Sorry, but I have customers who are without transportation and that want to give a kidney to drive their cars again.

Well go ahead and skip down to me, ok? lol. By chance? is there any "shorter" of a waiting list for people who feel "generous" and like to tip? haha, only playing, (if ur not, please PM me, lol).

move down to Sammy Wu @ wu.sammy@gmail.com if you want business :)

Well if you're going to be skipping on down, you may as well inlude me in one of those three. I know all about skipping, when you haven't a vehicle and are walking almost everywhere, you have to keep busy somehow... :disco: :disco: :disco:

So how long we got until these guys get bumped on the list. Me likey gears...

move down to Sammy Wu @ wu.sammy@gmail.com if you want business :)

Sammy You're #3 on my list..put your order in asap! Either call or go through our website.

If anyone knows Brandon Davis, he gave me the wrong telephone number and isn't answering his e-mail. He's #2 on my RA list. If he doesn't answer it goes to #4....#'s 1 and 3 have responded today.

Oh brandon davis? thats my other alias. His new number is the same as mine. Just go ahead an email him at TrizzyDizzy@hotmail.com, lol.

OH Trizzy you just got bumped to #19 on the list for telling fibs haha. ;)

OK brandon davis is skipping till the next batch...#4 is Dave Birt...come on down! Give me a ring or order through the website.

Awsome! the more i tell teh higher i move. ugh...Dave birt, he bought an SRT4! And whoever the #5-#18 is they all bought...ugh...they went to Iraq! yea!

$1450 shipped is the total.

Ok Mauro, I just sent you another email with my info on it, just in case there may be any confusion on whether I am still interested or not.

Let me know about that tip deal that was talked about earlier, the old 20% goes out the window on this deal should I happen to fall next in line... :devil: :devil: :devil:

Rodney

Gotcha Rodney...I might take you up on that hehe ;)

Hey mauro, give me anotehr week. Right now ive got exactly $1090. Itll take me a week or so.

mauro, sent you an e-mail.

Hey mauro, give me anotehr week. Right now ive got exactly $1090. Itll take me a week or so.

If you don't have the money I can bump you until the next shipment...should be mid november.

bah, thats fine, lol. shucks...

Mauro, I sent you mail..

Thanks, Rodney

Hey Anthony, I got on your website and took care of business there through the normal methods, let me know that everything went ok, last thing I need is to be put on the waiting list again!

Hey,

I would like to understand a few things. I read Rallispec's thread about what had to be changed to get these gears to work and still somethings are unclear. With the kit you are selling we can use stock synchros, this is the STI RA Version 6 Kit correct? Now the kit Gruppe-S is selling is also the STI RA V6, so why does that one need a different synchro set?

Also, I have about 13k on my transmission (04 wrx) and I am having irregularity problems with shifting smoothness. Somedays poping it into 1st and shifting from 1st-2nd is like butter. Other days its HARD! I usually like to feather my shifter, slipping it in and out of gears with two fingers. On the hard days I kind of have to grab the shifter and give it a good shove or a good pull to secure it in gear. Only happens with 1st and 2nd. No grinding. One day however I was not able to shift into ANY gears. It was stuck in neutral. It was like there no place for the shifter to go but sideways in neutral. Anyways what I did out of desparation was I had my brother rock the car back and forth with me trying to put it in gear. A few seconds of this and I had my transmission back. I changed my fluid to Redline MT-90 now and still the same problems. On hard pulls in 1st every once in a blue moon, I get locked out from shifting into 2nd. Would you believe this is a synchro problem or shifting linkage, or maybe even the throw out bearing on the clutch?

Sorry for the long post but lastly, and realisticly speaking, if I would like a set in by say January or February sometime, when should I add myself on the list. I dont want to put myself on the list too early and not have the money and then have to be bumped down to the bottom, or too late and just be walking all over the place. Is the supply for this decreasing through the months or has it stayed the same, because I noticed from the beginning of the thread that you seemed to have about half a dozen or so every month and then by OCT you were only able to get 3. Thanks FOR THE GREAT DEAL YOU HAVE and appreciate the input and advice! :)

Hey what's up? I just wanted to check on order status, and make sure everything went through ok...

Rodney

Hey what's up? I just wanted to check on order status, and make sure everything went through ok...

Rodney

Rodney, just got back from SEMA in Las Vegas...order will be 2 day air'd free of charge on Monday. Sorry for the delay, but the speedo gears came in while I was gone.

Ant

Would you guys be able to get non ra gears?

email sent

no reply as of yet? any word at all?

All of your e-mails are being put into a folder so I know who's waiting for what. I'm waiting for an ETA to get back to me. As soon as I do those in order of my list will be contacted asap.

Thank you,
Anthony

If we were put on the list now about how long before we would get our gears?

I e-mailed 5 Non-RA people on my list last night. Two are pre-paid as of now. I'm going to have exactly 5 NON-RA gearsets instock next week. I need deposits or full payments before Thanksgiving so I can make sure you get in on this next shipment.

5 RA gearsets coming in as well, but the week after. If you are waiting for an RA gearset please contact me if you do NOT get an e-mail in the next 24hrs.

Thanks,
Anthony

I think I am on the listfor RA gears but not positive, i may be under on my vendor accoutn "Ultimate CC", let me know.

If you want to get in on the next batch I suggest you place an order. At this point I've contacted everyone on my RA list and haven't received one response. First come first serve if they don't speak up.

I sent you an e-mail and pm. I have money now for RA gears. Please let me know if others flake.

Hit you back. 4 RA gearsets left available.

Contact me if you're on my waiting list and get a deposit in.

Hey I got a question for those of you that have recieved this gearset, the RA Spec one. Did you guys get the 3-4th gear cluster along with the other gears for the pinion shaft??? I just want to check and see if the sets recieved by customers had this. And if at all possible, if anyone has a set that they recieved complete, could you possibly weigh it so I can see how much your complete set weighs in comparison to mine??? Thanks

Rodney, everyone gets those parts with our gearsets. Without the pinion gears you will not be able to use the gearset.

Last night you told me over the phone that you have:

1. mainshaft
2. 2nd gear
3. 3rd/4th cluster
4. 5th gears
5. reverse
6. gasket
7. speedo gear
8. shift fork

Now you're missing 3rd/4th cluster, 1st, and reverse? I tried calling you twice and got your voice mail. The power keeps going out here so i'm not sure if you tried calling me.

I spoke with the other two out of the three people who recevied RA gearsets from me in the last shipment. They have all of their parts and no extra.

Weight of your gearset package was 18lbs when it left here and 18lbs when it arrived at your home. The gearsets are always 18lbs. Every gearset that leaves here is that weight. Why you are missing items, I do not know, but Rallispec and I have nothing leftover that would lead me to believe we didn't have it in the box.

I've tried contacting you twice already today with no success. Call me back on the number I left you as soon as you get my message. I've already left you three e-mails in the last 20 min.

I have to meet up with people for a dyno appointment shortly so call the number I left you on your voice mail.

Everyone else, I want you to know that every single gearset that leaves here is double checked by both Rallispec and I. If this is a mistake on my part I assure you it will be corrected swiftly.

Thanks,
Anthony

Send me a pm on how much to send you for a Exedy Stage 2 Organic Clutch and the RA gears.

Thanks
Dan

I'm not trying to start an uproar or anything, just want to double check though, the last thing I want is for you to think I am trying to trick you or something, otherwise you have given me no reason to believe that you won't handle my problem. As for the phone messages, the last one I got your phone was breaking up and I couldn't hear the last number. Other wise, I have been on the road in a rental on a 15 hour road trip, and am won't be home until sunday, but I will check my email as much as possible....

Thanks Rodney

Rodney, I'm splitting up one of my RA gearsets for you so that you can get back on the road. I'll be sending the parts you need once i get the RA gearsets back from cryo.

To everyone else, i've got 1 RA gearset and 3 NON-RA gearsets ready to go!
Thanks,
Anthony

Hey, I just placed an order via the website for the RA gearset you have. Can you just shoot me a pm to let me know that you got the order and still have the set available? Thanks!

-Steve G

what the big difference in the ra and non-ra? thanks.

Hey, I just placed an order via the website for the RA gearset you have. Can you just shoot me a pm to let me know that you got the order and still have the set available? Thanks!

-Steve G

Yes you got the last set.

what the big difference in the ra and non-ra? thanks.

No big difference...just different ratios. Theres been a lot of discussion about this throughout this thread. Strength is identical.

Anthony

I've read other people's threads about the possibility of leaving the stock 5th gear in place for better highway mileage......what is your take on this? I put a lot of highway miles on my car.

It can be done, but you're better off just getting a NON-RA gearset if you're looking to keep your stock Hwy mileage. Same strength and similar to RA ratio, but 4th and 5th are identical ratios to the USDM WRX.

2 NON-RA left...no more RA

Got my gears yesterday :banana: :disco: :banana: , hopefully they can be fully installed by friday. Thanks again, can't wait to get my car on the road again.

Got the clutch today :banana: :disco: :banana: . Now i can finally get my baby going again. I was going to take pictures but the gears are wrapped all up really nicely and I don't want to take it apart till I go to install them.

Thanks again,
Dan

I will be pming you shortly to order some more parts :devil:

For those wanting to know what or how these RA gears work, I posted my 1/4 results in the "PROVEN POWER BRAGGING" section under..."My modded WRX vs Saleen 'Stang"

Needless to say I don't regret installing these gears, although I do regret not having the $$ for some upgraded differentials. Still life is better than the stock gears that's for sure!!!!

How are the Non RA gears driving?

Rob

How are the Non RA gears driving?

Rob

As far as? Highway it's identical to stock WRX...street you'll notice first, second and third are longer, 4th and 5th identical to WRX. As far as noise levels...identical because they are helical gears not straight cut.

If the stock ratio for the WRX is 1.947 (2nd) 1.366 (3rd)
and the NON RA is 1.882 (2nd), 1.296 (3rd)

doesnt that mean 2nd and 3rd is actually longer
unlike the RA gearset 2.062 (2nd), 1.545 (3rd), or am I missing something here?

Yes I had a brain fart there....1st, 2nd, 3rd, longer and 4th 5th identical. Thank you for clearing that up.

This page will help you out to understand the differences between the two. Courtesy of Rallispec, the people who put these gearsets together. http://www.rallispec.com/Subaru%20Gear%20Chart.htm

Get an exedy sport clutch and flywheel combo with this last gearset for only $699 and get another $100 off the gearset! You must order before X-mas through our website. I will personally take care of the transaction.

Just wanted to give an update on how happy :banana: :banana: I am with the gears, they make the car a blast to drive, even though I really haven't gotten on it to much until i break em in some more.

Thanks Again,
Dan

what do you guys have in stock.6 MT

Nothing for 6mt...good luck..those are expensive! :(

Any TypeRA gearsets left??

Sending you a pm too..

PM'd you

Anthony:

Just to let you know I had the STi RA gears installed this week. Wow, what a difference. Too bad the WRX did not come with these stock. Best performance investement for this car, hands down. Thanks again for the quick turn around time.

Rob

Oh I can't wait !

No probs guys...I have ONE single NON-RA gearset left instock...call me for a great deal on the gearset and a clutch!

I wanted to put a deposit on an RA Gearset, any ETA on that?

Yup another few weeks and we'll have everything together. Right now we're short mainshafts but they just came off backorder in japan.

From reading this thread i gather that with the non-ra gears the 3-4 shift won't be like hitting a brick wall you feel with the stockers?

I'm on the fence with the ra vs non ra for a drag racing, road coursed wrx.

To me the longer 1 2 and 3 are a nice change, but I see you guys raving about the shorter gears and didn't want to go in the wrong direction.

More of these on the way! Get in on a set before they're in and out of here!

If you do more drag racing I'd say stick with the NON-RA. Only because you won't have to go into 5th...we all know that extra shift can hurt a 1/4 mile time. Another good part about the NON-RA would be the fact that 4th and 5th are identical to stock so you wouldn't kill your MPG.

Anthony

Bump for great gears at a great price. I have the RA's and love them, the wrx should have came with them from the factory.

Dan

ps sent you money for perrin uppipe and a pm.

Hit you back Dan...not a problemo.

so is the latest news? do you have them instock? or when is the next shipment coming?

I should see plenty in a week or so. Both RA and NON-RA

Thanks
Anthony
