Pulled the gearbox apart and found my third gear (dogs) very worn. This was the obvious reason for the problem at Road America last year. Much more than the dog rings. When the transmission was rebuilt, the re builder used gears from a FT200 trans(I think)and had to grind the dog faces down. This could be the problem with premature wear.
I've been working on gear ratios for the Pittsburgh event. The track is 1.53 miles, and third gear will be used in 6 of the 12 turns. Think I will talk to Brian to see if the gears can be repaired.

Had no reverse or first gear at Road America last year.
Adjusted the shift linkage and now it works fine |
