We don't fully understand either.
The bearings had 1" between them at the closest measurement (2x1 WCD). There was also 2 sprockets between the bearing and the gear, so possibly that was the problem. We haven't checked the gearbox shafts, only the outer shafts. I guess the shaft could be bent, but it seems pretty unlikely to me as it has a huge marign of safety.
The bearings were 1/2" hex bearings which seem to have a lot of wiggle room to me, and maybe that combined with the long distance to the gear let to engagement issues.
