PPG says its new first-fifth Helical Cut Synchro Set is a smart solution

For owners of the Mitsubishi Evo 4-9, which first entered production in 1996, finding replacement parts for gearbox rebuilds is becoming increasingly challenging as many original Mitsubishi components are now obsolete. 
Pfitzner Performance Gearbox (PPG) says it offers a practical solution with its Helical Cut Synchro Set, specifically designed for the five-speed gearbox in the Evo 4-9 platform.
PPG explains that its Helical Cut Synchro Set is engineered to handle high horsepower (HP) applications, making it ideal for high HP road cars which take part in track days, roll race events or even just everyday road applications and ‘Resto Mod’ projects. 
It states this product provides a reliable and durable solution without the excessive noise typically associated with motorsports type components.
“The PPG Helical Cut Synchro Set is designed to extend the lifespan of the Mitsubishi Evo 4-9 gearbox, making it an ideal option for those dealing with the challenges of obsolete parts,” PPG Sales Executive, Tom Perham, said.
“Our set strengthens the gearbox, making for a robust solution for this vibrant platform.” 

Key features and benefits:
• Enhanced input shaft: features a tailored bronze bush for increased support and reliability.
• Dual synchro on fourth gear: this upgrade, combined with a redesigned third/fourth selector hub, allows for smooth gear changes.
• Optimised gear ratios: engineered to reduce RPM drop, keeping the vehicle’s performance consistent.
• Noise reduction: helical cut gears provide quiet operation while maintaining strength.
• Modular design: select from first-second gear, third-fourth gear, or first-fourth gears. There is also an option for adding fifth gear, depending on specific needs.
• Compatibility: the set is designed to work with both OEM and PPG final drives, as well as most aftermarket options. 
• Optional billet forks and rails: available for those looking to further enhance the durability and customisation of their gearbox.
Designed “meticulously” for the Mitsubishi Evo 4-9 5-speed gearbox, PPG says this set represents “the pinnacle of gearbox innovation, providing an unmatched combination of strength and sophistication without the intrusive noise typically associated with high-performance components.”
In closing, Thomas states, “the Mitsubishi Evo 4-9 Helical Cut Synchro Set by PPG is more than an upgrade; it is an investment.”
