[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1178938, member: 6354"] Transmission shafts are back in the case, but still waiting on sealant and torque angle gauge to arrive, so no further reassembly yet. However, I figured I'd dig out the video mode of my dSLR and have some fun. I shot the shifter ratchet in action on the star cam, which is actually kind of dull, but useful if you've never known what happens when you kick the shifter up or down. After that, you see the axle shafts in action through the ratios. 4th and 5th are harder to see because that shift happens in the input shaft which is almost hidden under the output shaft. The big gear at the top left is the output to the middle gear shaft, and you see it get faster through the shifting. The shift drum, turned by the ratchet action on the star cam, is at the bottom of the frame. I turned the input shaft with one hand (where the clutch basket belongs) and operated the shifter arm (the same arm the pedal actually links to) with the other hand. Point of view, keeping in mind the engine is upside-down, is looking upward from the road surface in front of the rear wheel. For best viewing click on the Youtube logo to watch it on their site, then select 1080 and full screen. There's no sound, as I had lots of noisy fans in the garage, and it wasn't worth trying to "narrate" over the noise. [MEDIA=youtube]NrUxk1K5x2c[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
