Cool, at least we are moving into the right direction. So what are gears made out of? Some type of hardened Alloy?

As far as the cost of Quaifes gearsets... Look at what happened to the LSD for the MTX-75. Ours used to be the most expensive one to buy, but because Ford is now using it in the FR200 (?) the price is now the CHEAPEST.... Volume...granted, you arent going to see 6000 sets of Quaife gears sold a year, but is that what it takes to drop prices?

If i go to a local CNC shop, and tell him i need one piece fabbed up and that one piece costs me $500, if i go back and order 10 of the exact same thing at a later date, each one isnt going to cost me $500 individually. That just isnt the way it works, at least not the way it should work.

So what (in detail) is it that makes gears for the MTX-75 so expensive to make, compared to just about everything else out there for every other car that is machined?
