Back cut gears - what are they
« on: October 31, 2005, 02:23:21 PM »
I have seen a reference to people using back cut gears in their transmissions. What is this and why is it helpful?
The mystical trend of our time, which shows itself particularly in the rampant growth of the so-called Theosophy and Spiritualism, is for me no more than a symptom of weakness and confusion.

keeps it from popping out of gear. A common problem with drag raced Busa's (and some street driven ones)

"dogs"



input output BMW tranny, not exactly how a busa tranny is laid out but it gives you an idea how they grip, I think they notch the dogs so they grip and hold better?



busa tranny looks more like this, constant mesh type

Thanks. Big difference between the two.

APE has pics and explaination on cut trans. Most people cut trans so dog ears (gears) engage easier under a load. Not nescesary for clutchless shift, but aids in engagement(shift fork moves gear over to another to ramp up and lock together). Can cut the other side also so that dis-engagement is easier too. Need some trans guys on here to give a better eplaination. I think MH has some in stock for ya. :D :D :D
