GEARBOX COUNTERSHAFT AND BEARINGS
"Better Countershafts"
The Roadster Factory has found that readily available countershafts are not
made as hard as they should be and that they are often not even machined
correctly. We at TRF have solved the problem of knowing whether or not we
are selling good countershafts by having our own shafts manufactured correctly
at a U.S. manufacturer with high standards of quality. Regrettably, this adds
some cost to the part, but we find that most customers are willing to pay a
higher price for a critical part they can trust. As TRF builds gearboxes at
C.A.R. Components, we use the available parts every day, and we know what is
good and what is not. This offers a level of protection for our customers, as we
will not sell parts that we will not use ourselves.
Note that TRF recommends press-fit needle bearings over open-cage
bearings originally fitted to TR250 and TR6 countershafts. The press-fit
bearings are made for higher performance with a complete ring of needle
bearings, and the closed cage provides a new bearing surface each time a new
bearing is installed.
