Hi Guys
I am trying to figure out the OWB part of the 2 speed transmission. The centrifugal part I understand.
What confuses me is that OWB that is located always in the first gear.
Does that mean that the car is driven in 1st gear by OWB locking onto the shaft, and if the bearing is bad, it would just slip and car would not move?
Also, once shift RPM is reached, then both 1 and 2nd gears are engaged at the same time, because shaft still spins in the same rotation, and 1st gear OWB will still be engaged?
Friends nitro car is not taking off, barely gets any traction, we focused on the clutch, which we replaced with a brand new one.
I noticed that when I hold 1st and 2nd spur gear by hand, I can roll the car backwards and forward with barely any resistance.
Does this mean transmission OWB is buggered?
I think I discussed this before with tudordewolf on this forum, but is till confuses the heck out of me.
Please help me fully understand this.
