Gearbox Suggestions?

Krytac shells will work the best..... from there it's hit-and-miss with everything nowadays.

The reason I am not sticking with a Krytac Gearbox shell is they have a weird bump around the bushing hole that prohibits replacing the auto-shim gear with other gears.

Krytacs have no auto-shim gears. That's VFC. The spur gear does have a spring as a spacer, but it's too hard to act as an auto shim.

Or at least, my Krytac doesn't...

The spring is very stiff... but there weren't any other shims on it, so I don't know what else it would be doing there.

It would be better to get a mill bit and a drill press to remove the obstructing parts...

I personally don't like that spring as it was putting too much pressure on the bearing--I replaced mine with a hilariously thick stack of shims, but you may not have that many on hand.

Honestly, I'm not sure exactly what to call it either. Spring spacer?

I had to do that on both sides, but I had to do it so much on one side that now the spur gear spindle presses against the selector gear. Causing an inconsistent shim. I think I might just get another gearbox. And restart. Live and learn.

...been there done that, rinse and repeat many times....

Yeah, I just went ahead and bought another Krytac OEM Gearbox.
