Point your truck forward then turn your spur gear left. If it moves your truck forward then you have installed it right.

and dont forget to install those little threaded pins into the gears that connect to the output shaft lol my arse forgot it.

Tore the tranny out, took the 6 screws out, removed the guts, put the 2 new gears in, forgot to put the threaded pins back in, re-installed the tranny, linkage, started her up, gave it throttle and nada LOL

Tore it all back down and reinstalled everything including that bastid of a pin, in about 1.5 hrs

the fun of oversight LOL

lol so all went good for me! Im impressed with the outcome. Best 11 dollars ive spent on my truck. The hardest part of the installation was connecting the half-shafts together and screwing the pin for the front of the truck(Coudnt get the brake disc out of the way). So yea i finished and im happy with the results..

Thx a lot for the help

Btw: im trying to set up a racing maxx
