Brad can you answer a question for me.
Is there sometimes a gear that will work in one location and not another. what I'm getting at is that I was told to find a 4th gear "O" and the person who told this to me seemed to be saying that there were some "O"'s that were made for 4th and some that were made for other spots in the box. Does this make since? brant |

Look at the teeth count for the different gears. Sometimes if you "flip" a gear around, which means putting the drive gear on the other shaft plus the other gear of the set on the drive gear shaft, you can get the ratios you want.
Earlier we posted about "flipping" 5th gear (a ZD) into 3rds location to get a shorter 3rd ratio. You can do this with most of the gear sets I figure, its all about the ratios you want. I did the ZD into 3rd and love it. 2nd gear is the only one you can't play with unless you get either a different mainshaft or a 904 mainshaft with removeable gears. Geoff |
