Savage Tranny - Got his pants down... now what?? hehehe - Locking it up in 2nd

Cut and pasted from another place i posted at last night =)

Yo everybody =) For my BL conversion, I wanna lock this tranny up in 2nd gear (so i can use the BL motor for brakes and reverse) and take out everything i dont need...

OK - so i've opened up the tranny, and i think it's got a reverse module... i need to know what gear is what in here, and what i can take out and what has to stay...

I'll get some pics tomorrow, cause i dont really have time to write this even, but would like to get some sort of a start on things -lol-

I'm wondering - on the OUTER SPUR gear side of the tranny - which of the 2 gear INSIDE relates to 2nd gear, and which is first? Would the gear on the OUTER edge of the 'box (closest to the spur gear) be second, or is that first?

On the other side... there's 3 gears... 2x plastic and one metal... the metal gear is locked on the shaft with a pin, and spins/connects to another gear which i think is basically the reverse module?? (same side of the 'box - the other side to which the spur on the outside that connects to clutchbell gear is on)

damn - i'm stopping here - i cant explain this without confusing anyone -lol-

But basically need help from here to lock it up in second permanently - forward and reverse =) Will get pics tomorrow, and make this thread a lil more useful -lol-

cheers guys =)

GOT A PIC NOW! =)

Thoughts please on what i can take out and how to lock it up?? =)

bigger gear is second gear. Use jb weld to weld the gear to the clutch. Remove all other gears and good to go. THe small solid peice is the part for the brakes (mechanical brakes) it is how the shaft that rotates actually pushes out on the pads to slow it down.

sweet! thanks heaps for the help man, nice to know i wont need to worry bout that lil metal piece for the brakes =)

Just before i go ahead - i did another pic of what i think wanna do... please let me know if i have things round the wrong way =)

Cheers again!

nope you got it wrong in there. Keep the smaller gear on the right side. Keep both metal gears and the larger plastic gear on the left side. The 2ng gear clutch is bolted the the shaft so you just need to JB weld the large plastic gear to the clutch

Locking trans in second gear.

I found this link on how to lock into second gear it may help.
I have not had a chance to try it yet but when I get it done I will post. Here is the link, go tot the bottom of the page for the diagram.

OK - she finally left last night, so i have some time to post up what i have done... i finished it last week some time, but haven't managed to get the time to post anything up... i edited the pics cause i took heaps and figured it'll save me blabbering on -lol-

anyways... here is what i did...OH!! can someone please let me know how i locked the reverse module?!?! i'm stumped as to weather i locked it in forwards or reverse?? -lol- I figure i can swap 2 wires on the motor/esc and be fine anyway, but it would just be nice to know -lol-
