Hi There,
I am still waithing for the 920 pistons from Jim Schmidt, so to keep me bussy I strip my TTI 5 speed gearbox, well after more as 50.000 kms, it looks brand new!
Very sad that TTI was not there in the seventies when I was racing with a Konig engine in my sidecar, Quaife ans Schaftleitner boxes were not strong enough for the 100 BHP from the Konig
Head off for TTI
Next winter maybe a 6 speed
Happy Easter

Its been said the Brit Iron cycles were sold as just basic puzzle kits everyone had to pay more to recover and reconstruct better. Pretty darn cool to still want cycle thrills in this era of great vintage upgrades. I hope your 50K miles had significant abuse to put icing on TTI endurance cake. TTI assured me I did not need out rigger bearing support to take drag leap clutch drops on flat slick in top tallish 4th with forked sucked ~all the way down. Ever checked out their main product lines?

When only getting 33 mpg above 5000 for couple couple hours on end AMC's get over boiling even with Ti oxide dry friction impregnation and Dextron ATF, so did ya check TTI temp after any of your kix?

On AMC if nothing else explodes first the shafts become candy cane shaped, twisted-bent with visible end run out causing fast wear everywhere else till replaced. Can semi straighten but its like straightening out a coil not a rod. I suspect this can happen on just one over tight primary chain event too but TTI might bend the crankshaft first.
