try bildit with the gears mounted on the shafts but start with them on the faceplate then install into the tranny..sounds like your face plate is binding the gear shafts

I know you said you have built it 3 times but make absolute sure the gear sequaence is right,,I almost built mine out of sequence due to the instructions' pics not being completely clear,,,otherwise,,Id say contact venom or the shop you got the kit from.

my trans was not that clean either.. but it turns, just hard. It has a 3/4 turn that's clean, and then a 1/4 of the turn is tight. Just the way they are with the plastic molded gears not being totally round.... I even ripped it in a powerdrill for a half hour to loosen it up, but that did nothing, really. If yours is like mine, it will function just fine. If it's just plain tooooo tight, I don't know what to say.

Mine was nearly impossible to turn, there are a few threads on here about this topic. You just need to run it basically. Its normal to be hard to turn at first but after your first crawl session it should be good. |
