NTC3 Two speed tuning question

[mykrowyre]

I just installed my two speed but the initial setting was waaaay off of what
was recommended in the manual. I ran a few times, and now it's not shifting.
I dialed it in about half a turn on each spring and now it's shifting
again... my question is, is it normal to keep adjusting this thing as it
breaks in?

Make sure the settings are even on both springs, other than that - I'm not
sure. Mine hasn't needed adjusting for over 6 months.
I believe the manual also recommends cleaning the housing and shoes out
after a few runs, so maybe that may help.

Not sure.... however, may I ask you how difficult it was to install
the new two-speed transmission into the car? Are there
instructions.... do you need to a massive disassembly?

Thanks.

Took less than an hour on my NTC3 RTR, came with good instructions which you
can see on their web site:

Not much to take apart. Took a couple tanks to get the shift point dialed
in.

Not hard, but it took about an hour. Make sure to save the parts as you
remove them because some are needed to assemble the two speed. The hardest
part about installing the 2 speed was getting it dialed in. The manual says
3.5 turns out, but in reality its more like 5 or 6. Start at 4 out and
continue to dial out 1/4 turn testing each time until it shifts just before
you reach high RPM.

Actually, to be the most efficient, the 2 speed should shift at just over
1/3 throttle. This keeps the engine in the peak power band.

That's silly. To get the best power band on both gears, you have to put the
shift at about 2/3's max rpm. 1/2 at the least. Cars might accellerate
faster, but my T-maxx doesn't even get into decent power band without full
throttle for at least a second and a half.
