Minispares new layshaft
Turbo Mini Forums

It's a while since we touched on this subject.

Has anyone tried this new "performance" layshaft yet?



This was the posted that prompted my question.

I'll try to remember to take a file with me next time i go to minispares. LOL

I reckon this is do-able :)

Bugger off, I'm getting there.

selective hardening, that must be an interesting process and rather expensive as well!

Yeah i didnt even know there was a conclusion either lol.

i done the test with miniwilliams

even on the quality standard one (used)

the file bit into non running surface but didnt touch the running surface.

i think regular layshaft bearing changes eg yearly for hp over 150 and millers cvt oil will do the trick oh and try and use a good oem one if possible.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

shocked to say the least by that :o

Question: how would you harden only a couple of areas of a component in a production enviroment?

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

Well, I've bought one of these new ones. Should be with me tomorrow.

I'll take some photos and post them.

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

Im getting a new T56 built, and having the gears cryo treated, which is supposed to increase strength.

Another process, although more wear related, is Mikronite treatment.

I wonder would either of these benefit Mini gears/shafts etc ??

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

mmm i read some where its possible to get a whole built up engine cryo'd!

didnt they do that in back to the future?

Nah, your thinking of Superman with his Kryptonite treatment

Looks like the whole thing has been hardened and then ground at the journals.

It looks and feels right but only time will tell.

i think one of the big killers is some of the after market ones has holes which are slightly smaller than the standard ones.

also keep your oil at max as at max the oil is just above holes which feed the layshaft.

Look at a brand new ring gear on a flywheel. Only the teeth are hardened, also the same on a handbrake ratchet and the throw out stop (on the bearing end, the thread is still soft).

I seriously doubt it!
