chstephens Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I wanted all to know that the Holloway Performance website was updated today with additional technical information on the Lotus Esprit/DeLorean gearbox upgrade. This has been done to address questions that have been received. It is not yet all inclusive, but it is an evolution in process.

gmendoza Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) Actually, the mph will be higher than stock at a given RPM but the difference between 1st & 2nd wont be as great as it is now. This will help the 1-2 synchro.

This will help the 1-2 synchro. This is exactly correct. The new ratios will enable a higher speed before shift is required. The step between gear 1 and 2 has been lowered enabling an easier synchro transition. Thanks for your interest.

I like the idea of saving my 1/2 syncros.. I'm interested. I'll submit my info on your website.

I'm interested. I'll submit my info on your website. First gear is straight cut and second gear is helical cut. Your OEM synchros will be used with the new gears. Thanks and please do submit your information. I can then email to you the current flyer.
