Re: KoP TB Mini- Transmission Seizing

So we determined tonight that it had nothing to do with the gears, but the plastic housing on the gearbox was bad. We replaced it with a housing we had from previous years, and it worked fine. We decided that what most likely happened was (because we could kinda see it from the outside) the cim was not sitting on there right. So one side of the cim would press into the main gear, of course creating the seizing problem.
