Re: dewalt shifting transmission

Mods are extensive, and there are many posts and threads on Chief Delphi outlining them. We've used them for drive systems for years, with no problems, if built properly. If you need to shift, and are looking for a transmission that is CIM-ready, take a look at AndyMark Supershifter. it has an option for using pneumatics or electric servo for shifting speeds.

Re: dewalt shifting transmission

We have used the Dewalt transmissions for many years (Our team had Dr. Joe Johnson the inventor as a team leader #47). Shifting them is possible with a servo as indicated in the White paper... however they are not as effective as many new products as the AndyMark super shifter.

Re: dewalt shifting transmission

Just for fun, can anyone supply an updated source of just the DeWalt transmission and housing assembly compatible with the Nothing But Dewalts whitepaper?

Something people can buy and modify that does not require purchasing and dismantling an entire drill - a rather ignominious fate for such a noble power tool.

Thanks. A yellow and black birdie told me that many of the needed parts are out of stock there, however.

Re: dewalt shifting transmission

Off the subject of where you can find them.

Is it possible to interface either of the Mabuchi motor in the kit with the dewalt transmission?

Yes, as long as you can bore the pinion year to the correct size for the motor shaft. You may also need to modify the mounting plate to adapt but I am sure you can do it.

Many of the parts for the NBD's are not in stock because a new series of drills came out in Feb of last year and they are different. I have not had a chance to look at the new drills to figure out how to modify them but hopefully before the 2011 season there can be an updated white paper.

If you are looking for parts, perhaps the best thing to do would be to buy referb drills without batteries for parts. For example this... http://www.amazon.com/DC940-Dewalt-B...3871506&sr=8-1


EDIT: The drill above is the DC940 the drill in the NBD paper is the DC980 and they are slightly different but should be close enough that the paper should apply. That being said I have no experience with the DC940 so try it at your own risk.

Re: dewalt shifting transmission

A couple of years ago I went over to a dewalt service center and purchased 6 drills that had burned up motors for $50. We cut everything per the whitepaper and they worked out well. Check your local service center, tell them what you are doing and they might give you a deal.
