need help with my savage/ transmission

[trebreeden]

ok today i was driving my savage up a hill and it stopped and started sparking(near then spur gear and clutch bell) and i hurryed up and turned it off why did it spark like dat?

 

[Shaun]

So i assume your running a steel spur gear?

 

[smileyman63]

Broken motor mount and clutchbell hitting the brakes? Or like Shaun said do you have a metal spur gear?

 

[trebreeden]

yea i have a metal spur gear

 

[xll-SavageX-llx]

yea i have a metal spur gear

Your motor mount screws have came loose causing the mesh to be loose and that could be 1 reason. The other is your mesh was to loose in the beginning and once you went up that hill their was more strane on the gears and it spun out.

 

[trebreeden]

oh ok how do i fix that problem

 

[xll-SavageX-llx]

oh ok how do i fix that problem

make sure your teeth on the spur and clutch bell are still in tact, if so mount the engine back on the savage and when adjusting your mesh, what i do is when the spur and clutch bell are touching hold the clutch bell with your finger and move the spur back and forth you want a little bit of play not to much and not to little you need the sweet spot. With that trick i had a plastic spur last 2 years, when i hit a surveying post and the spur stripped >=(

 

[smileyman63]

A good mesh is important. I've beat on mine with a picco and the plastic spur still looks new after a gallon or so. I saw my bro-in-law strip out like 4 clutch bells with his metal spur so I'm going to stick with plastic.

 

[trebreeden]

so its the mesh

 

[smileyman63]

I'd say its your best bet. Just take your time and make sure its good then you shouldn't have problems

 

[Mickey]

tre make sure you have the hpi vented clutch bell with that steel spur gear or your clutch bell wont last long( like smileymans bro in law ) the non vented bells are designed to run with the plastic and the vented bells are much harder to last with the steel on steel contact

 

[trebreeden]

that will stop it from sparking

 

[trebreeden]

just looked at my car it does have that

 

[tallone09]

Also get some blue loctite put on bolts for motor mount keep them from coming loose . and i always check mine after every run make sure all bolts are tight .

 

[tallone09]

Also you can get blue loctite at you local auto parts store.

 

[trebreeden]

but now when i drive it it make a slipping noise like the gears broke or something

 

[tallone09]

look at nut on spurs gear see if it loose . if so tighting it it up all the way and then back it off a quarter round.

 

[trebreeden]

thanks for the advice but still not working cause I'm rollling it and the spur gear not moving

 

[trebreeden]

transmission help

*** merged from duplicate thread ***



ok today i was driving my savage and all of a sudden it started making this sound like something scriped in the transmission or something because it bearly moved when i have it full throttle can somebody help me

 

[Bankrupter]

check the spur gear nut first. then we will go from there. chances are its loose and the slipper is free spooling

 

[trebreeden]

i checked it and when i roll it . the pur gear want move unless I'm pushing it backwards

 

[Bankrupter]

i checked it and when i roll it . the pur gear want move unless I'm pushing it backwards

that is normal ! it has a OWB bearing in it. if it moved the other way it would rip up the drive train and stall the motor

 

[trebreeden]

oh ok lol

 

[MikeK1981]

Sounds like a loose slipper to me too.

 

[trebreeden]

mike when it wont pull
