Noisy trans cover

[iH8usrnames]

I am new to this so maybe this is normal; I find the transcover to be vibration amplifier. I pulled the cover off today and it is so much quieter.

I understand the need - prefer to not get grit in my gears - but hate the noise.

Anybody have a solution for this?

I did search "noisy trans" and came up with loads of threads but none obviously appeared to be about the covers.

If you’re running 32p ditch the cover

Whats the mesh like? Too tight and that can be noisy...

There is a tiny bit of play between the pinion and spur gear. I know I should not have them jammed together but, maybe I still have them too close?

Does somebody make a helical spur and pinion set? That would be amazing.

No need . Use a piece of paper and jam them together, spin the paper through the mesh, tighten.

Thanks.

Did the paper trick, its just a touch more open than I had originally. Turns out I am just cranky when it comes to gear noise.

I appreciate the help.
