What People Are Saying

Regarding racing transmission and cam/accessory drive gears:

“Thanks for everything you do for us! The transmission shafts and gears that you knocked out for us in that short time-frame in the middle of the season really allowed us to make the most of our starting line launches. Without having the availability to changes ratios in different track conditions we wouldn't have been as good as we became.”

— Andrew Hines (6x NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Champion from Vance & Hines Racing)

“I can’t say enough of how pleased I am that we partnered with First Gear…

on a recent custom gear project. Their team has been great to work with every step of the way, from taking time to understand our unique objectives; then putting their gear manufacturing expertise into action for improved tolerances and other design changes on a gear set for our equipment; and to ultimately provide fast delivery for the new prototypes. As we began rolling out the other sizes, I knew we could count on First Gear for a high quality product that meets our needs and specifications in a timely manner.”

— Jeffrey Miller (Belden Incorporated)

“Working with the folks at First Gear has always be an enjoyable experience. They have a great group of technical folks to work with, always very responsive.”

— Mike Helm (Dana Incorporated)
