    Which gear set up should I use for savage x4.6

    there is really no need to loosen the slipper, all it is going to do is slip TOO much and eat up the pad sooner, I lock mine down and it will still slip under heavy loads but doesn't allow it to slip until needed so the pad lasts longer......

    Replaced spur gear

    OH NOW you are forthcoming with all the information..., yes it is likely that you will need the same tooth spur or you will have to go up a couple teeth on the clutch bell gear to get in the right range for complete meshing.

    Steering issue for Savage x4.6
