I'm now working on shifting software. Are there tricks to making it work optimally? Joe P. mentions the neutral zone and "Software syncronization" - how does this work?
Thanks!

I am curious on how the teams that are not boring out the sun gear but rather using adapters to fit to the sun gear are dealing with the additonal distance (hieght of sun gear) that the transmisison is from the CIM. Do you build a custom case that fits over the transmission and connects to the CIM? Do you build a wider CIM plate and still use the yellow clamshell? Do you cut down the CIM shaft? Thanks
