Re: pic: 222 3 speed closeup/cutaway

In that case, for your redesign I'd suggest a bronze bushing or some such between those free running gears and the shaft. I just got lectured by my design prof about galling, and it wasn't pretty. Apparently, two very similar metals have a tendency to stick together. Thus, if your lube ever gives out, the gears will sieze and bad things will happen. so as a corollary, check the lubrication whenever you get a chance, just in case.
