Re: Dewalt transmissions

We used them this year. Our team was not impressed at all with the Dewalts. Our being a rookie team may have had something to do with it though. We had problems with the pressed on gear spinning. The problem was solved with using a key. We seemed to lose some of the gears (most likely out of adjustment). Next year we will most likely be using the AM 2 speed (depending on the game of course).

The premise of the trannies is really good, and we were very excited about using them as so many teams had success with them. I suspect if we had more experience with them, we would use them again. They did shift nicely and the gearing was appropriate to this years game. If you use them, don't be afraid of the miserable noise they make when shifting, we saw no damage to the gears after 3 regionals of use. The noise comes with the terrotiry.

I hope this helps, and the best to you and your team this year.
