Tran-X Shutting Down!

[matt.f 16]

Can't put link up on my I-phone but noticed on the website they are shutting down.

Just ordered a spare set of plates for my lsd for the future.

Quite a few people leaving,more than likely setting up on there own!

[calvinhorse 870]

Great... How much for the plates, I'll do the same!

[matt.f 16]

£102,you never know someone might buy the rights to carry on making them.Quite a lot of people have them and there straight cut boxes.Better that Quaife by a mile!

I could do with knowing who is going to take on their servicing work in the future.

If someone buys a set of plates are you up for lending them me to draw up and spec? I'll then look into getting them made, it is OK at the moment, but in a few years time we could all be knackered when the Tran-x stock dries up.

The Peugeot BE plate kit is £93.60. What's the

PUG INT PLATE (10135 MOD)?

 

Nothing else worth grabbing?

[matt.f 16]

I spoke to them today,apparantly it's just normally the plates that wear and nothing much else,did say only a couple of times diffs have needed new gears but hardly ever.

So I've ordered 45/45 lightweight.

Tom you can have mine when they turn up

Quite a few people will be able to do this I reckon,there's an ex employee allready set up on his own a few years ago.

I'm not over concerned about the plates as I would imagine gripper or someone can easily run off a batch. Gears and casings on the other hand may prove a bit more difficult.

Tom, I've got a set of lightly worn plates on the shelf.

It's a bugger, that's the 3rd place this week for me, Which includes my Head place, Need to find something else quick

[Mad Scientist 106]

I've reserved one that I don't need now. If anyone wants one and is prepared to risk the lack of after sales support let me know. It will be 25% off list.

[clen666 2]

Which company will people be using for their diffs now then?

[matt.f 16]

If you can't get spares and you need another make,I'd say Gripper or Kazz(never tried them).

[allanallen 528 2 Cars]

Which company will people be using for their diffs now then?

 

As Matt says I'd go for a gripper, I have one in my 309 and I prefer to the tran-x in my 205. Greater adjustability,cheaper parts and better customer service

[Rippthrough 98]

Bugger, I'd got them looking at a diff for the buggy after gripper pissed off with my spare diff and then would never answer phonecalls/emails.

 

Ah well, try again.

[matt.f 16]

It's a few month till they shut mate I think,got my plates today,good service and always has been when I've rang.

I'm no engineering expert but pretty sure someone can copy these!!

Quaife has taken control of the tran-x transmission brand.

[harryskid 193]

Where has the rest of this thread gone i posted up about Quaife keeping tranx weeks a go?

[harryskid 193]

O i see now we have been through all this on gen car chat section, seems some on here are behind the times !

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

Good thing is the old Staff are opening up something else, So my worst nightmare of dealing with Quaife looks to be a thing of the past

I doubt they will be doing played diffs though if they sold the technology to quaife

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

Yes they will be, Even had a email from them about it. Nothing stopping them from doing it (Unless under contract when finished) but make the design different and no problems, Just look at Gripper and Kaaz

[e8_pack 4]

are the plated ones really so much better than a maintenance free quaife? I was really impressed with the quaife though it did snake from time to time under hard acceleration, does the plated diff stop that hapening?

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

You have a search and having borrowed a ATB diff I would have been very **** off if I had spent that amount of money on something which I think doesn't work, Only plus is that it's stronger than a std Diff, but you could say if Quaife thought ATB where the dog's why would they buy Tran X tooling

[matt.f 16]

Always funny when this question pops up on the rally forum I go on.People use there old ATB's as paper weights and someone else uses it as a door stop lol
