Default Lincoln Gear Cluster

Years ago one could buy the Lincoln gear cluster that fit the 1940 vintage tranny's and had a higher gear ratio in first gear. I think MAC or someone sold them. Are they reproduced ?

You have to buy THREE gears - the complete set --> The main input, the cluster and 2nd gear (they all go together).

Tell us about your application that you are planning to use the LZ gears on. Details like car weight, rear axle ratio, tire size and engine size and modifications would be helpful for discussion.

Details make the difference. I had a transmission with LZ gears and did not like it with the tires and rear end ratio that my pickup has.
