Default GST 3rd gear "fix" (how to adjust correctly!!!)

Hi all

I've been having the same problems of getting the GST/Genesis to shift into 3rd gear...
And have read about all the different mods and fixes but was reluctant to try them out.

So i came across another post :
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_57...tm.htm#5759368

I did the same, only WITHOUT disassembling the gearbox
I just turned the set screws ½ turn in from the outside and voila : It shifts into 3rd gear without problems !!
The goal is to have zero slop between the hub and the clutch shoes.
No drilling and no shims needed !


And another thing :

If you THINK it is shifting into 3rd but can't quite hear it, it propably isnt !
Now there is a distinct shift from 1->2 & then from 2->3 every time !
It shifts just as well as my Savage now [)]
