Re: pic: Input Stage Wear

Our WCP/DS/2CIM were fine until WCMPs, at which point a CIM came loose and I believe we put it back into the wrong 'slot' position. There wasn't noticeable wear, but we did notice the noise after a couple of matches and fixed it.

On that note - if the game is rough enough and there are enough matches, the taped #10-32 bolts will work themselves loose eventually. Best to Loctite it from the start.

All-around, these gearboxes have stood up to the roughest game they've seen, even with the aluminum 14T pinion on the 2nd reduction.
