there are about 3 post's on this page about adjusting the 2 speed. Is your engine revving high enough? If you accelerate slowly, can you hear it shift? Look in the manual on how to adjust the screw, and turn it clockwise about 1/2 turn at a time, then you can fine tune it once you get it in the general area. Just make sure your adjusting the right screw.

samtron

theres more than one screw[X(]

stevblutu15

yup, check your manual, if you don't have one get it from hpi's web site.

samtron

well i probly was turning the wrong one

samtron

i read the manual and i was turning the screw the wrong way

stevblutu15

yup, thatll do it.

samtron

well it is aficely stuck in second gear some times i can get it to go in to first and i felt my clucth bell and it is hotttt could that be from it being in second gear all the time

Richie-EB4

Yeah........if you read some of the threads on here you will see my post about what happened to mine and it was still stock.

samtron

alright thanks so if i screw it in all the way and then back out about 1 1/2 turns will that work

samtron

man i just went out to try my gear shifting and i wasnt out for more than 5 minutes and when i felt the clucth bell for a split second it is so hot i have a blister on my finger now[] should it be this hot

Richie-EB4

The clutch bells do get hot as your clutch slips...........but you should check it as it might be worn out.

And i turned the screw in 1-1/2 turns from were it was set at the factory.

samtron

thats the problem right there i dont know were the factory settings were and i just put new shoes on yesterday

Richie-EB4

Did you replace the springs ??

And if you have messed with the shift point on the two speed im not sure what to surgest..........all i did was adjust it in untill i heard it start in first then shift but it was early so just needed to adjust a bit more.

samtron

yeah i replaced the springs to the others were worn out big time

Richie-EB4

If your bell is glased inside it will cause it to slip........and i use alloy shoes now to give that extra grip.

samtron

alright hey can you tell me how many turns out from fully close your shift screw is if you want to thanks for your patience

Richie-EB4

Sorry but they dont recomened turning it all the way in as it compesses the spring and squashes it.

Have you got your manual for the savage ??

samtron

no i think i through it away by mistake [&:] while i was cleaning my room

Richie-EB4

LOL.........have a look on here...........[link]http://www.hpieurope.com/[/link]
