Try checking with your local Dewalt service center. They have always had them in stock for us.

Re: White Paper Discuss: Nothing But Dewalts

We found its more expensive to use the older drill model. We are changing our tranny because of it. Buying the individual parts of the drill will cost more than buying a whole new model drill.

Re: White Paper Discuss: Nothing But Dewalts

Our Dewalt transmissions are making a weird binding sound when we shift into third gear and i was wondering if this is normal or not. We've taken apart the trans and the gears are fine. We are just worried about the sound. Is this a typical sound?

Smile Re: White Paper Discuss: Nothing But Dewalts

We've use them for several years as our man drive, and have found them to be very smooth. Are you driving them with CIMs? Be certain the sun gear is not too deep into the planetary gears in the 1st stage. In addition, we have not had a need to use super low, as there is not much difference in ratio between 2nd and 3rd. Possibly, if you are using a servo to shift, it may not have enough throw, and you're not fully into 3rd gear. Did you remove the clutch pins from the output shaft? Are you still using the torque ring adjustment?

Re: White Paper Discuss: Nothing But Dewalts

The old Dewalt transmissions have become very expensive, has anyone had success using a newer model dewalt?

Re: White Paper Discuss: Nothing But Dewalts

Team RUSH has switch to the 36v Dewalt housing with great success. The procedures for modifying them are similar.

We don't have a white paper, sorry...but, you can sort of see them in this picture. They are substantially more rugged, featuring more drive pins inside the planetary assembly.

Re: White Paper Discuss: Nothing But Dewalts

We are trying to use the Fischer price assembly for the dewalt and we are having some problems. The paper is very vague in how it describes the modified pinion gear and we have a whole lot of questions
  • What gear is this?
  • Is it from the dewalt tranny?
  • is it from the Fischer Price motor?
  • how do we modify it?
  • How do we attach it to the Fischer price? When we tried to take off the gear that came with a Fischer Price we practically destroyed it Fischer price.
  • Can someone help us?
thank you in advance

Re: White Paper Discuss: Nothing But Dewalts

The modified pinion gear is a modified dewalt pinion gear. The mention is in the very first paragraph on page 17. It notes that the Sun1 (pinion) gear id the same gear as the Planet2 gear. This would be the planet gears of the second stage of the tranny. There's 4 of them and they're longer than the Planet1 gears.

Modified means bored out to a press fit on the FP shaft. He recommends a .125 (+0.0000, -0.0005) hole. This is a very tight press fit, which makes it a little tricky to not bend your FP shaft. I'd recommend measuring your FP shaft with some micrometers and going with a hole that's 0.0005 under your measured dimension.
