fg 2 speed clutch question help needed

[scooter5200]

Myrcbud I want one of those Samba pipes too!! And you are right they are expensive!! The instructions for the 2 speed at first glance appear wrong but they are correct. I put my 2 speed togather per the directions supplied and it works.

 

[myrcbud]

Ok. I'll have to do some adjusting. I have the 4wd sportsline and I think the SAMBA 5 is my best bet for an exhaust.LOL

 

[scooter5200]

I agree , it is hard to find a pipe that will fit I believe the Samba is the best choice for the FG.

the 2 speed is very close to my pipe its only about 5mm from the gears,, first time I used the car with 2 speed fitted I had a pinion gear come loose at it hit the pipe leaving a nice cut in the pipe cause my pipes all alloy done me no favours plus me setting the 2 speed up and forgetting to fit the e clip didn't help

 

[scooter5200]

Yikes!! Don't want to damage that tuned pipe!! I am glad you did not put a hole in it.

 

[renbar]

I think its going to be ok but it is a deep slice lol,, I will keep my eye on it if I can i'll get somebody to run a weld over it a grind it back I will hopefully before it gets worse

 

[scooter5200]

Sounds like a plan!!

 

[scooter5200]

Renbar, how is the modfication to the 2 speed holding up?? Have you had a chance to run it yet??

 

[renbar]

[scooter5200]

Have you ever actually herd your 2 speed shift? I have 3 cars with 2 speeds and i have never actually heard them shift but i can tell its working by the actual top speed.

 

[renbar]

yes but only while doing doughnuts lol plus if you aint got a big jump in ratio between 1st and 2nd gear you wont hear it

 

[myrcbud]

been wondering about your progress Renbar. True that a close gear ratio it's hard to tell the shift. It was easier back in my nitro days. That's about the only thing that was easier.LOL I have to actually take my buddies word for it that it shifts its shard for me to be sure but he swears that he hears it.

 

[blackrain]

Man that pipe really is close to the gears, great looking car by the way.

 

[renbar]

cheers mate yeah the pipes a bit to close but much better now Ive replaced the Teflon joint
