strength of gears..
(OP)
hi, im designing a gearbox for a small off-road car, with just two shafts, input and output using spur gears. I pulled a pair of gears from an atv, which are perfect for me, light weight and the ratio I want, 3.33:1. My concern is I don't know if they will hold up, the input shaft will see a max torque of 60ft-lbs at around 650rpm. Is there a formula using rpm, diameter, pitch diamter, etc...
any help is appreciated

Another issue is case flex and shaft mis-alignment. Are these helical cut? If so the alignment has to be much tighter than if they are not.
