Re: Anyone with Porsche 956/962 experience?

Dave,

In a Porsche transaxle where the gears are mounted directly on the pinion shaft the helical cut cut gears counteract pinion end thrust. In this case, IMHO, helical is better than straight.

I was planning on going Albins dogbox later on but I don't have any info on quality or performance. However being Ozzie made I would have no worries about either.

Cheers,
