Ok, it really give the same gain than the 4.44 gear? How much time to install?

Just did the math using the carbonetic gear (not using the advertised 8% reduction) and it works out to 4.28 effectively in a AP2.

Depending what tools you have available to you, I think most people should be able to complete this in 2-3 hours.

Still if you have an AP2 and don't need to swap the secondary shaft, $275 is pretty cheap for a 5% gear reduction.

Not with diff gear, i want to avoid to change differential gear. Do i need to remove the transmission to install it or i can simply install it in place, what time to install it and do i need to replace the bearings?
