Default RE: Tornado BB spur gear issues


ORIGINAL: ezkilla6596

thanks. i'll try checking all the mount screws next time. maybe i'll upgrade the screws and get ones with small washers. & i was considering getting a shockwave single speed trans actually, but i was concerned that i would keep having the same issue being that it's also a plastic gear?
yeh, id check those screws or replace them....
and id check the ball bearings in the tranny...
and i think there is a ball bearing in the clutch bell.
if any bearing in that area is bad, the play will cause the gear mesh to be off and will cause the spurs to strip easy.
I have never heard of anyone stripping that many spurs....ever. sure, plastic spurs strip from time to time but i cant imagine that there isnt some other factor that is causing the problem.
