Hi,
My first post! I have just completed and run the prototype of my aluminium gearbox to enable the Team-C geared diff to be used in the Lupuz/TC02C and anything else that uses the original gearbox from the Lupuz. Would anyone else be interested? My current plan is to make a small batch and get one on ebay asap. I shall try to attach a picture but as I have said, this is my first post on this forum so anything might happen. |

Price is a good question.
If I logged all the hours spent on the prototype it would be about £30,000 but, as with all things, it is worth what you can get for it. I notice that a Schumacher aluminium gearbox retails for about £65 so my plan was to put is on ebay with a starting price of £50 and see where it went. The rear T-Plate has to be modified and the price would include the supply of a modified part plus gear casing and fasteners. Because the T-Plate has to be machined away where the gearbox sits, I have extended the gear casing forward to provide two additional fixing points, ahead of the thick rib that locates the pivots for the rear wishbones. It's a very stiff assembly. For a limited period, anyone who contacts me via a PM on this forum (if you have them) and subsequently sends me a T-Plate for modification, can have one at the starting price of £50. Orders would be taken in strict rotation. Personally, I think that you should buy them just to put in a glass case and look at them! But I'm biased. And they do let you put the beautiful Team-C geared diff in your car.I suspect, but I'm still measuring one up, that the Durango diff would also fit. It would be of assistance to me if someone could please give me a definitive list of all the Team-C cars that this gearbox is used on.

Thanks Lee,
The next one will be even prettier and a tad lighter too. It's spoken for but I have material for two more at the minute. Is there a truck or SC variant? |

Sorry Kusal, I missed your question regarding shipping earlier. Shipping to Belgium would be an additional cost in the order of £10 to £12 for a two day service. I originally stated that I would require the T-Plate to be sent to me for modification but I see that DMS have them in stock at £4 so that is another additional cost if you don't have a spare T-Plate and want to keep racing whilst I'm machining. Cheers Clive |
