I love that everyone has to prove they have steel toes by beating on their foot. I'm guilty of it too.

[@YohanathanD]

You do that till you hear a "pop". And now your big toe has 1/2 the articulation it used to and it constantly jams out of place painfully.

I found out why you never wear steel toes on job sites luckily I didn’t lose my toes it was a small load of truss But it Pinched the top of my toes

[@robertoszym2]

Gents, can You maybe try to use 2 brake cables to make gearbox linkage? One will be for pulling original leaver in one direction second one for another.

[@bobadam7021]

I've posted this before but you guys should have a day where you roll out all of your old projects and just rip through them trying to get each one to run, and at least make a loop around in front of the shop.

[@michaelneff6716]

I would love to see the two of you fix that trophy cart and take it to another place with more space to go FULL SEND!!!

[@CJLeTeff]

You need to have some type of damper in the driveline to absorb to torque from wide open to letting off the gas. The reverse torque is braking the gearbox due to the extra weight of the kart.

[@vinnyperrotta]

It’s that time of the week 💯

[@adamr9215]

From the little bit you showed, the chunk that broke off looked like the pad of a shift fork. Makes me wonder if your linkage is producing too much leverage and damaging it when you shift.

[@oldschoolman1444]

Ya'll need to figure out how to make a cable linkage for the shifter instead of the long shifter bouncing around.

[@karnesrussell]

Replace the clutch before putting the gearbox in place.

[@scottinWV]

Yep! Well, if it needs it. At least put some new gear oil in it.

[@wallyhaskett6737]

Case to case joint clean with some cleaner like brake cleaner (example) the use Honda bond. best bonding for cases you will ever use. No Leaks guys. All your bolts in those cases need to be torqued even if it is not called for in the book. You can get torque specs on the size and thread of bolts. Invest in a nice torque wrench 3/8 or 1/2 inch you will find that you will be using it all the time. Remember the Honda Bond. Great stuff!

[@Xxjoker21xX]

The Shift Lever you have it is over Extending the Shift Forks you need shift stops to keep from breaking the Transmission shift forks AKA Dogs! Also i think as you Ride the Kart the shifter flops Back and forth trying to change Gears it self and can cause issues you need some kind of a shock Absorber to stabilize it!

[@handyhippie6548]

you need to get some muffin tins from a garage sale, or the dollar store to keep all of those small parts separated when you pull stuff like this apart. you can glue some small magnets to the bottoms with rtv so they stay put.

[@magnumcipher4971]

Those transmissions are SUPER easy to rebuild, new parts are still available and no special tools are required. I was a BMW motorcycle tech for years.

[@noimdirtydaniel7794]

I can't remember if y'all rubber mounted the engine, but if not you should consider it. It will definitely help cut back on some of those off road vibrations. Might need to re-do the drive shaft though.

[@mackattack6435]

You guys were talking about mounting that gearbox to a predator or a Briggs and Stratton. I currently have a Suzuki 1972 TS-125 with the lower end of the engine on it and it’s powered by a predator 212. Had to modify the frame a little but it is awesome to ride. If you want to see it let me know!

[@j-beatsimaginationstudio1987]

[@rjc862003]

Your right on your floppy shifter setup was bouncing around on change up and beating the hell out of the tranny slamming the sliders and the dogs is what crushed that

[@letsgopedal4249]

I would love to see what kind of top speed you could get out of a predator 212 with a 5spd. Also it's worth mentioning. I sont know if it's new but at harbor frieght the other day I noticed a new size predator I've never seen before. I think it was like a 305 or something. Be interesting to experiment with. See how similar it is to a 212 or 420. Maybe some of the parts could swap over to push some more displacement out of a 212. I'd also put a new clutch in while your there.

[@trunorthroughnecks9140]

I think I will build a few go karts. After watching these guys for a long time I feel inspired.

[@DIYWilly]

Like you need to put a 212 in that Chevette you have. That would be a crazy fun project to watch.

[@jamesmcgee9279]

Lmao! "Not double clutchin like you should!"

[@bigcaputo09]

That trans is plenty strong I'm sure

[@Carolina_Squid]

In one of our drag busa's the trans was pretty rough inside and 2 of the 4 dogs got cut out. Bike runs and shifts great. Roll on.

[@phillip6370]

I dont know if you guys will see this comment but just a suggestion rather than using the big heavy long shifter like you have currently it may be easier to adapt to a push pull cable it will also make it much easier to mount it pretty much anywhere you want it instead of being limited to hard links and pivot pionts

[@theone2be33]

[@datraktorman69]

This entire series I have been thinking the shifter was going to cause problems. Finally did it haha,lasted longer than I expected.

[@carbide1968]

Yes that long shifter was bouncing the entire time just destroying the gearbox. I just now suggested paddle shifters.

[@datraktorman69]

@@carbide1968 they don't take suggestions at all haha. Really they could stick with a lever,just move it,and shorten it. Theirs is probably one of the dumbest shifter set ups I have ever saw. I get that they were going for a trophy style shifter,but them shifters are gated,cable operated,not just a heavy tube with all the leverage.

[@SportbikerNZ]

@@carbide1968 I wouldn't touch paddle shifters with a bargepoll. Awkward linkages required which are always mechanically inefficient given all the routing, and trying to mash the shifter around constantly with just your fingers is tiresome. Never a great system unless it's electronically actuated.

[@SportbikerNZ]

@@datraktorman69 Given their vids have a week or two lead time, noobs always think they don't listened when in reality they've already progressed well past that point. Not only that, but 99% of the suggestions are from mechanically inept couch potatoes who don't have a clue, and are thumbed up be equally stupid people. I reckon the shifter would have been fine on a better gearbox. Given it's done 80K hard wheelie miles, the shifter return spring and everything else is probably getting sloppy. Fuss over nothing.

Could you use an electric steering servo for a steering rack?

[@DetroitMicroSound]

The old cinder block shop NEEDS TO STAY PART OF THE C&C complex! (I think Ike's with me, here! It's where the "board" stays.... ...just make it sound, and maybe transition it to studio, and more "cozy" purposes... a place for visitors in future, etc.... You want a tunnel for the prop shaft to move freely within, and have lots of range of movement.

[@fartingduck5316]

the long levers of the linkage and rough nature of application "over torq" and cause just the issue presented.

[@MrMorepower71]

Congrats on the shop build.

[@theemptynest6955]

How to attach the gearbox to a 212cc, Interesting to see that..thanx boys👍

[@bigcaputo09]

I was thinking you're shift linkage not allowing the gears to engage all the way!!! Then you said it!! Good call

[@Z_732]

I'm wondering if the "slipping" driveshaft joint didn't actually start the problem.. by creating a bind. And under large loads it could cause some serious trouble to moving parts. Even if its not, I seriously recommend fixing that issue while its down. Because I know it dont take too much force in the wrong spot and wrong direction (Im implying a force shoving against the output shaft) for it to cause a lot of minor misalignments inside an otherwise tight fitting gearbox. (Speaking from my own experience building projects) NICE work fellas! Good stuff thanks for the vid!

[@luvman400]

So for your shifter instead of it being that big handle you guys can use a b&m shift cable and make your own shifter handle back closer hit me up and I can send you pics of my buggy that I built and how I set mine up and the shifter works amazing

I picked up a adjustable wrench and it had vice grips handles so when the adjustible wrench loosens the grip tightens it so it don't .it's a must have tool vicegrip adjustables

[@buckykattguitar]

Those dogs are notorious for breaking off. I had a trans torn down for new seals and bearings and there was 1 gear that only had 1 dog left on it....still rode and shifted normally.

[@Stratos53100]

Suggest changing the oil in the replacement before installation & replacing the clutch as someone mentiioned below.. Missed the Pate show, ( Im in the metroplex ) wanted to go but had to pass, Rain was bad on Saturday, Though im also under the weather so not feeling good.

[@averagecarguy420]

Could be the heavy shift linkage/stick pulling the shifter arm while you’re driving around, trying to put it into a different gear and grinding. That would explain the dogs being banged up.

[@matthewm9913]
