Re: Who can cut crown and pinion gears?

You seem to have answered your own question Pete. Those Dana, Ford, and GM units are all standardized and high production quantity units, so once things are set up, it makes sense to "be cutting gears around the clock". As for the Corvair, many companies do HUGE production runs that will last for decades on the shelves. My guess is many GM products from the past have quite a few spares somewhere in a warehouse. Beyond that, it's supply and demand. Look at all the different transaxles coming out recently with the demand that has increased.
