NEED HELP ON SPUR GEAR
Hi everyone !
I have a savage 4.6 rtr. I striped my spur gear two weeks ago. I had a 49t and now i put a 52t. My clutch bell is a 17T(stock one not ventilated). I changed the spur gear for the new one , but AS SOON I FINISH TO PUT THE SCREW it seems the mesh is not good, it seems way to close (clutch bell from the spur gear). When i try to turn it with my finger it s hard to turn... i tried with a peace of paper between the gear while i am screwing the screw and it doesn t work... maybe i did not put enough paper ? do you have a CLEAR web site or help i can follow step by step i don t want to burn my clutch shoes and another spur gear....
Thank you...

RE: NEED HELP ON SPUR GEAR
not all combo's of cb's work with the spurs.
17/52 is a tight fit. you may need a 15/16 tooth cb to fit a 52 t spur.
a 15/16 cb and a 52 spur.your going to be flipping that 4.6 on its lid with loads of low end torque.

RE: NEED HELP ON SPUR GEAR
this is a flashback for me.... you did EXACTLY what i did. listen to mazda. the 52t does not fit on the stock cb. trust me i tried it. it wont work. even if you slide the motor all the way over, like i did mine, it is still not designed to fit. you do have to go with a 15 or 16 clutch bell. oh yea and if you do go with that gearing...get a wheelybar hahaha you will need it even if u have precision feathering throttle control
just my 2 cents

RE: NEED HELP ON SPUR GEAR
Ok set lets say i want to run the truck like this. Am i gonna burn the clutch or something (i don t mind burning the spur gear) is there any danger for any other parts except the spur gear if i keep the 17/52 ratio ?

RE: NEED HELP ON SPUR GEAR
you could smoke the whole clutch, ruin the transmission because of the bad mesh....i'd play it safe and just go with a 15 or 16 tooth CB

RE: NEED HELP ON SPUR GEAR
I went yesterday night with my savage with the 17/52t setup and i played 3 tanks with no issue. The truck lost a little top speed but can t say i lost 10 mph. the truck is almost to quick for acceleration it is crazy. The spur after inspection seems to be fine. It looks a little more loose between the spur and the the clutch bell... if the tranny brake i will put the 3 speed. if the clutch burn i will put a robinson racing clutch bell with mugen clutch shoes and 1.0 mm spring. What tools do we need to do a good job and also do we need to service the clutch ? if so how you proceede??
