Upgrade your classic Serpent 960 with the Serpent 9648 48t first gear

The Serpent 9648 Gear 48t (1st) is a precision-machined replacement specifically built for the vintage Serpent 960 series. It installs cleanly into the transmission to restore correct gear mesh and help cut drivetrain lash during spirited runs. Made for robustness, this 48-tooth first gear gives a reliable fit for both racing and regular club use.

Accurate machining for older chassis

Developed with restoration and long-term service in mind, the Serpent 48t gear features tight tolerances and wear-resistant construction. Its solid build reduces deformation under load and lets you swap components without modifying the chassis. Compatibility with Serpent 960 internals makes upgrades or repairs straightforward.

Improves performance and lowers maintenance

Fitting a correctly made first gear reduces vibration and minimizes wear on adjacent parts, so the whole drivetrain runs smoother. The Serpent 48t helps maintain consistent power delivery, simplifying setup and extending service intervals for vintage cars.

In most cases the Serpent 9648 installs directly into standard Serpent 960 gearcases. Check shaft and spacer dimensions before fitting to confirm a direct swap.
Use a thin shim or feeler to set a small running clearance and tighten the pinion retaining hardware evenly. Recheck mesh under load after a short test run.
Look for rounded tooth profiles, cracking at the root, and uneven wear patterns. Replace the gear if tooth faces show significant pitting or deformation.
