Re: How to make a Neutral gear with BallShifters?

You can simply remove the input gear for the high speed gear stage. That is the easiest way.

We are testing this now to see the max loading the ball shifter can still shift into neutral. My theoretical calculation indicates in excess of 400 lbs in a 2" diameter winch.
