pic: Building blocks of a 1 lb shifting transmission

You would have had to essentially remove a quarter of a pound, or a bit more, from the 2007 transmission 254/968 used to get to 1lb even. I don't see that as physically possible.

Did you hob your gears? Cut them with a form cutter? What alloy? Have you decided it wasn't worth the work yet? (Don't mean to be snarky-just that you can find numerous comments from 968/254 members that it absolutely was not worth the amount of effort it took to save 2 lbs).
