I've been searching and tinkering for hours and haven't got it right.
Breakdown:
Savage X 4.6 RTR, only mod is reverse added.
Stock 47t spur stripped after a crash, no biggie - just replace with 49t spur I had on hand and off we go.
But no go, I can not get it meshed properly. I thought I got the mesh right last night, when out and ran it, rolled and stripped that spur...
I've have noticed a couple issues that are probably hindering my mesh.
1) The truck doesn't want to roll in one direction without getting "hung up" like the brakes are fully locked. Move the reverse servo direction and the opposite happens when rolling. It also makes a grinding noise when I do roll it, so of course I loosened the mesh, but then the spur/CB don't mesh. I can't find the perfect median. Shouldn't the spur/CB spin freely when the truck is sitting still?
2) The clutch bell housing keeps sliding out, towards the tranny. This is causing the clutch shoes to have an unworn section(.5mm on motor side) when they grab, and also leaves about .5mm of untouched spur teeth(motor side) which looks new and the rest of the teeth are flattened from stripping. Took it apart, both bearings spin nice, washer is in place and so is the spacer on the end. But I can move the clutch bell horizontally when its assembled, is that correct to have that play or does it need to be shimmed?
I'm about to start tearing it down again and will snap some pics to help describe what I'm' talking about.
