Impulse Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 what what?? how??? by what process does someone destroy gears like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 at brady You'd be amazed what I see in the field! People mix and match gears with the wrong pressure angle all the time and say it's fine, or they'll have their center distances off and can't figure out why their gears are binding. That's the joke at work. Or on sprockets "that looks fine. just tighten your chain and it should be good!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 what what?? how??? by what process does someone destroy gears like that? by not fully or cleanly engaging the gear before releasing the clutch is one method. But really, the thing is that once one tooth snaps, it's like snapping teeth off a comb. They just all kind of shear at the base. So you Power Shift and shock the tranny and one tooth snaps and they usually go in groups, or in deals like this, they all get sheared off.

PaulFWMotorsports Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Wait a sec ... isn't that 3rd??? DING! DING! DING! We have a winner!! Third is almost always the gear that gets shreaded. Just to clear the air, this destroyed gearset is not an RA set...just the 2nd USDM set.

Impulse Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 ouch, i'll be sure to make my shifts 1-2-4-5, or better yet 1-2-5 cant destroy gears buy driving around everywhere in 5th can you? gear wear can never look as naassstttyyy as that one did, can it?

Ok, so it's been a few years since I've paid any attention to shredded gears, but I thought it used to be on the subies that 2nd was the gear to get shredded (when the WRX was first released in the US at least) ... what changed? Or was it just the synchros that were going before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1anatic Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Who's your customer ? Anyone who abuses his transmission to this extent twice...does NOT belong on these forums. Keep'em coming ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Also, Paul, I don't deal with this type of transmission ever (I deal a lot more with straight cut spur gears, rack, straight cut bevel gears, and worm reducers). Trying to figure out exactly how this works ... it looks like the gear teeth are always meshed but run idle until they're engaged by something like an internal spline (where the synchros appear to mesh). I guess I've never given too much thought to exactly how our tranny's REALLY work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayley Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 When you've broken your fourth 5-speed transmission, let me know: http://webpages.charter.net/gbayley/misc/pic_01.jpg Yes indeed, that's a wasted first gear yuo are looking at. http://webpages.charter.net/gbayley/misc/pic_02.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayley Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Time to adjust your driving style? I've got the old lady's Oldsmobile to get the groceries... Track days and ~300 whp horsepower WILL eventually destroy a 5 speed. I've seen motorcycle transmissions with bigger gears than the Subaru 5 speeds.

Boostjunkie Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Time to adjust your driving style? Nope, you just swap in an STi 6MT. If you look at the Bayley's profile, it looks like he's done that already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
