1st Gear Stripping Issue

trini · **Posted:** Tue Apr 07, 2009 01:21:23

Guys over the weekend I stripped 5 gears, sometimes even before the race starts a gear strips

2 weeks before I lost 6 gears and every time I have rebuilt my transmission and gear mesh.

Today I changed my clutch bell and all my pinions to brand new ones, placed my car on the box starter and let it run through 1 tank on the box and the 1st gear yet again began to chip, and this was on the box starter, what gives ??

It is really becoming expensive now when it strips on my box starter.

Here are some pics from todays box run and gear mesh..

HELP HELP !!!

Ok guys I ran this weekend and well I stripped 3 gear, then just finally gave up as my 1st Gear suppy is over..

I have officially gone crazy with this

Since I last wrote what I have done:
1- Rebuilt the car again
2- Made certain that throttle/brakes does not move the engine
3- Gear mesh is tight but still spins freely by hand
4- After Martin's suggestion I upgraded to a brand new lightweight 1st gear flange and light weight brake cam
5- I am still running with stock Gearing

I have had my car since the NT1 Officially launched and of the 2 yrs of having my car only recently it has started stripping Gears.

Before starting this post I tried it again with a 1st Gear I found at home and yet again on the startbox it stripped
Here are todays pics :cry:

This is when it stripped
