First step is to find out the stock setting for the shift point, which is typically 1 1/2 turns past the top of the set screw being flush with the top of the threads (see page 23 of the Savage X manual).
Once you have your setting to stock, and assuming stock gearing is 15/49, you can then calculate your ratio, and your adjustment.
Start by dividing your spur that you're running now by the bell, 17/47, which yields a ratio of 2.65.
Next, divide your spur by your clutch bell; 15/49 yields a ratio of 3.27.
Now, here's the magic. Multiply your first ratio (2.65) by the transmissions' current (stock) adjustment (1.5); 3.975.
Now, divide the 3.975 by your new ratio (3.26); you get 1.22, which means you need to loosen your shift screw about 1/4th of a turn.
This little trick also applies to the three-speed transmission upgrade.
It may require tweaking your shift point from there, but that should get your truck shift point in the neighborhood.
While I'm waiting for the alloy trans case to arrive on a slow boat from China, I need some advance info.
The shift adjustment that's accessible through the rubber plug, is that first to second, or second to third?
Does anyone have the turn count of the one that's only accessible when the trans is open? I'd like to know that it gets set in a good shift point before I close it all up again.
So the gear adjustment from the out side is from 1st to 2nd? My savage xl does not have a consistant shift so i'm working on that is there a easy way of doing it? Also for me to get my truck to third i need to take the trans apart to adjust 2nd to third correct?
my trans has 3 holes for adjustment, 1 for each gear, adjustable from the outside..
