GTB 2 speed BUSTED AGAIN!

[PHR]

The 3rd one way bearing busted today. This one also only lasted 10 min.
Now I removed the 2 speed system - fused the second gear, removed the first gear, just left the bearing in. Works GOOD!!

Have you tried a good after market bearing?

Gday Troy, yip the last three were SKF. The first one lasted about 18 months - but that was with the 26 ZEN. That engine I seized when I put my 990 carb on and ASSUMED it was factory set,(it was to lean) my stupid mistake.
Then I upgraded to a 30.5 ESP from Dave(same as in my T) and the trouble started. The mesh is set up first class. The only explanation I can think of is the torque difference!
Whats your take?

 

[OuttaLuck]

I think your right with the torque theory
Maybe go with a OBR or BSW two speed setup much better quality and can handle any torque

I am cured - single speed from now on. Not putting the 2 speed in the "T", keeping it as spares for the "B". Or should I say - whats left of it.
The "T" has become the bashing Baja- standard gear ratio.
The "B" will be used when there is big open space as it is running only on the GTB 2nd gear. You must see this thing move when full power kicks in!

This looks like a fun ride

I also hate my 2 speed transmission since day 1! First of all its so heavy on my clutch eating it on the process and second of all 5 out 6 times it shifts in to the second gear it neutralizes itself untill i let go of the gas once i punch it again it engages. I hate the system so its out of my truck and in with the regular gearing from now on.
