Adjusting tmaxx trans

[HDperformance]

I can't keep it adjusted correctly. The set screw is snug. At first I felt it was shifting early. So I screwed it in further now it's stuck in first.

So how does it go? IN=? OUT=? I'm having problems getting my shift points set.

This is out of the T Maxx Manual on how to adjust your shift points hope it helps...

1. Shift the transmission into forward gear
(shift button down).
2. Remove the rubber access plug from the
top of the transmission housing.
3. While looking through the
opening, rotate the spur gear to
align the cutout (notch) on the internal
2-speed clutch drum with the opening.
4. Hold the spur gear and slowly roll the
truck forward until the hex on the black
adjustment set screw becomes visible in
the opening. Note: the truck will only roll
forward (not backwards) when the spur
gear is held stationary.
5. Insert the 2.0mm hex wrench
through the clutch drum and into
the adjustment screw.
6. Turn the adjustment screw 1/8 turn
counter clockwise to lower the shift
point (shifts sooner). Be careful not to
loosen the adjustment screw too much
or you may cause the screw and spring
to fall out (requiring major disassembly
and repair). Turn the adjustment screw
clockwise for later shifts.
7. Reinstall the rubber access plug to prevent dirt from entering the
transmission. Do not put oil or other lubricants into the transmission
through the two-speed adjustment access.
8. Check performance by running a test lap after each adjustment. On a
small race track with many tight turns, try setting the shift point later so
that the truck only shifts into second gear on the main straightaway.
This will prevent an unexpected shift in the middle of a turn. On larger
tracks it may be necessary to allow earlier shifts for increased speed.

Turn the adjustment screw counter clockwise to shift sooner, turn it clockwise to shift later. Make sure you do not loosen the set screw that holds that clutch to the shaft. Do it in very small increments 1/8 of a turn or less.

yup what them guys said... when i got my t-maxx it would not shift into second gear so i turned it out 1/8th of a turn and now it shift perfect right at the rpm hauls ass with a 65t spur and 19clutchbell

if you do loosen the adjustment screw too much can you just screw it back down tight???
