yes you need to loosen the grub screw and remove the breaks and drive cup. then there are 2 screws holding the sides of the tranny together. remove them and you should be good to go.

Does anyone know where you can buy a full gearbox?

From what everyone swears by is to put a single speed tranny in it

That is what your looking for is the tranny and not the gear box right ?

what vehicle are you talking about?

willashcroft 01-08-2008 04:35 PM

RE: Help please! Gearbox problems.
 
The Tornado BB (but it is actually a HSP Atomic Warhead, which is the same.)

How About going direct drive? Pro's? Con's?

i converted 2 of my tornado's to the single speed, i like it, less to deal with and better for off road.

RE: Help please! Gearbox problems.
 
I have found a choice of clutch bells, ranging from 13t to 15t. which would be the best one for bashing/ off roading?

ehroof 01-08-2008 08:21 PM

RE: Help please! Gearbox problems.
 
15t for the tornado, 13 may be to low geared

willashcroft 01-08-2008 08:38 PM

RE: Help please! Gearbox problems.
