Transmission guys
I'm going to be pulling my gearbox out of my Bonneville car this winter for a gear change as well as repairing a missing 3rd gear and popping out of 4th that happened on the long track
While it's out I'd like to know if there is something others have done to get oil to the axle spades and fulcrum plates while running a spool. 1/4 mile guys don't rreally have to worry about i, but running 3 miles under load I'm affraid my axles are taking a beating. I packed as much gease in the cups as I could but I'm sure after a couple runs it's all squeezed or washed out.
Cheers |
