| Transmission slop???
Well I got my TF2 today, Freaking Awesome I might say. So here is my Question - how much slop does you transmission have??? When I have it in high range I can rotate the spur gear 1/4 turn before it engages, when in low range I can rotate the gear 1/2 turn before engagement. Is this normal on the TF2's or do I need to call RC4WD??? |

Mine has "freeplay" but not enough to concern me. I dont think i have as much as you. Over all i have a fair bit of slop throughout the machine, i can only asume thats the rc4wd way. So far i am more than happy for the price but its no "jewel"

Yeah, mine does that too. I assumed it was 2spd related. I figured I'd be ok as long as I didnt jam gears at full throttle while going forward & reverse. |

Ok, pulled the trans apart sure enough it has the tabs that engage in long slots. Looks like others are the same. This is my first experience with a multi speed trans. I was just concerned that it should have been a positive engagement like a dig trans? Thanks for the help guys | |
