Re: pic: 2012 frc971 transmission

The use of the final gear allows us to make the transmission removable while the belts and wheels can stay on the chassis all tight. Let's see a WCD do that.

We need to make the inside side plates a little stiffer by insert some bends into the plate. This will give us a flange to mount the plastic grease guards.

We need to insert alignment pins from the transmission to the chassis to ease the assembly and get the optimum gear spacing. We had to manually tune the alignment and if the screws became loose the transmission would have power loss.
