 The very fact that parts are rumored to be being re-used may be sufficient reason for the rule-makers to change a rule to prevent the re-use of that very part (not that they would ever be that devious!) - dlavery [more] |

Re: Meshing Gears
Just to fill in some gaps here and there:
1) Our design didn't use the balls in the shaft to create a ball bearing like assembly when the gears were not engaged. 2) Though simple in concept, these transmissions take a while to build for the first time (get prototyping!!!!). 3) Spring load your shifting device!!!! One thing I've seen with the designs is that everyone uses air or some sort of device to engage gears.....Air is good, but at the same time air along with a spring load is less harsh and more accurate at engaging the gears and will tend to solve SOME of the syncro. grindage. The spring load allows for error in shifting with no damage to your machine. Happy Shifting!  |
