As to your first question, I don't know because Chief Delphi has not used the drill transmissions in many years. When I did, I used machined rings to lock the transmissions. The "flip the ring over" idea comes to me from Bill Beatty (though he is by no means the only one who suggested it). Based on the source, I would say it must be a pretty solid method. Unless my brain is fried and I am mis-remembering the source.

As to your second question, I have NEVER had any problems with that first ring. I have never even HEARD of any problems like this.

Are you using it with the drill motor only or have you made a homebrew of motors to input into this transmission?

Anyone else have ideas?
