The new gear lasted four and a half years. Is that too quickly? Second gear broke on Saturday in pretty much the same way as it did four and a half years ago, but this time it broke into only two pie

78mph is fast enough until I've got a bit more seat time in Chuck's car. Then you will need to go faster. ;-) Cheers! Ty -- Tyson D Sawyer iRobot Corporation Senior Systems Engineer Military Systems

Just to share the knowledge... I spoke with Craig Taylor this morning. I asked him a whole bunch of questions about gear reliability, and here's what he had to say: (1) Webster is no longer inferior

Hi Mark You know me, I dump the clutch and accelerate hard coming off the line, usually not using the clutch going up or down. Hell, I even have been known to miss a shift or two. When I built my car

My brother and I both only use the clutch for starting out. That seems to be the preferred method according to Bill Hewland as well. Here is a link where he talks about it briefly. <http://www.hewlan

That is great information Mark, thanks. But to add to the database, I am on the same gears since I bought my car in '91. No problems yet, and we all know that I am not easy on the gears. As far as op

I agree with Kirk. Lower toothed pinions reduced the loads in the layshaft and gears, but at the expense of the higher loads at the driveshafts. The drive shafts are stronger than the integral laysha

Charlie, Thanks for the quote. I will add that for me the major disadvantage of my preferred 66 mph second gear has been on courses where significant corner exits could use the extra thrust of a shor

Bill Hewland's notes are interesting and useful, but his approach appears to be designed primarily to minimize dog wear. My major concern is shock loading on the layshaft gears, which might not resul

Just a few comments since I have traditionally busted at least one gear a year since I increased the torque from my motor (2000cc supervee). This includes 2 CWPs, several integral firsts, and a new t

That makes sense. But on the other hand, when I broke my 16:36 second gear years back in San Diego in a torrential downpour, it was neither high-traction nor bumpy! So I think if they're going to br

Has anyone ever broken a gear on a downshift, or is it always on upshifts? Both of my broken gears happened on upshifts. Mark /// unsubscribe/change address requests to majordomo@autox.team.net or tr

I don't think I have ever broken anything on a downshift. I don't use the clutch for them either. I have seen breakage at launch, when upshifting, and also during acceleration without shifting. The b

All I have is an opinion, no real data to back it up. When I used the clutch many years ago, the engine RPM would still not be matched to speed before the clutch was released. This meant that the gea
