    I'm not aware of any problems.

    I dunno MT. For quite some time when typing a post, the thing times out and I have lost everything. This can give you the shits. So now, I write my posts in Word, then copy and post into KB. If I am putting in pics, I do that first then do the paste. Maybe I am a slow typist, but haven’t seem to have had any problems elsewhere.
    Still, it could easily be operator error.

    Ah I see. If anyone takes too long to type in a reply they're automatically logged out. That's perfectly normal and I've been caught out by it myself. However, I did manage to retrieve what I typed in and post it. Unfortunately it's not something I can easily explain.

    Best to do what you're already doing - type up a long answer in Word and then copy and paste it.

    The shift dogs are beveled at one end. If a gear threatens to overtake a dog ring, the dog ring is simply pushed aside, out of engagement.
    Upshifts can be made under full power; no need to cut the ignition or feather the clutch.

    Two gears would never even get close to be engaged in that box(they are just to far apart), and as i understand it the bevels donīt push any gears to the side as you describe it.
    The bevels are for pushing the activated gear out for easier shifting, a minor unloading of the gear and the dogs automaticly disengage due to the bevel pushing the dogring away, or with applied force(slam the gears) the dogs disengages and the bevels making sure the gear never engages again by mistakes of driver.
    That gearbox is impossible to use the engine as a 'brake', the gears just disengages.
    Just like a liberty gearbox for dragcars.
    You can also if you want, use a smoothcut of ignition and apply a small force on shiftlever, when engine is hitting the smoothcut and torque from engine is getting less the next gear just slips in.

    Patrick I think some standard gear sets can be modified to make upshifts in a similar fashion as your drawing. I believe theres some gears (where the fork is positioned) that have cogs on both ends and this gear needs to be split in half with a machine. so for instance in 3rd gear, you can select 4th gear while 3rd is still engaged, because 3rd gear wont follow 4th because it was split in half. the ramp on the 3rd gear dog push the 3rd gear away. the problem is they cant be downshifted like a normal gearbox so its only good for upshift. I have one of these style of gear sets but I haven't had much time to inspect how it fully works but ill see if I can get a photo.

    The gears cannot be pushed away in these transmissions.
    They are located with clips.
    If a gear would be pushed away it would be a disaster for the longevity of the gears.
    Therefor are the gears fixed in postion to ensure maximum use of surface of the gears.
    Itīs only the dogring that moves when shifting gears.
    And in the liberty gearbox they have shortened the travel of the rings to ensure fast shifting.
    And also if a dogring breaks you can replace just that one.

    They are very clever, these boxes.
    All to ensure easy and 'cheap' services between the runs.

    I have modified the dogs to what is called 'undercut', this helps gears being connected in std transmissions.
    Often a std OEM gearbox can let the dogs slip apart under high load, undercut prevents it.
    I figure you are talking about grind the 'backside' of the dog likewise to the liberty and the banshee gearbox, this might work, but sadly often will push hard on shiftforks and melt them

    My old Honda MT5(132cc) melted the shiftforks, but under load, therefor i undercut the dogs in kawa trans

    In exact words you never did, but a gear can never threaten to overtake a dogring when a dogring is engaged to an another gear.
    If it ever would, the gear had to lost itīs place and started to move against the dogring.
    The bevels are for pushing dogring away when torque is lost and setting gearbox in neutral.
    The bevels also is letting the dogs connect easier when engaging the gear, as the bevel function as a 'ramp' downwards into connect.

    In cars this is funny, if letting drivetrain drive the engine under coastdown, the gearlever slams your hand hard, REALLY hard if thereīs a misfiring under full load.

    maybe wobbly knows more but I think in a transmission like a TZ (and maybe others ?) you can split the gear with double ended cogs and this allows 2 gears to be selected simultaniuosly and the lower gear is then pushed away because of the ramps. I think this is how it works

    Let me rephrase that for you:
    "a gear can never threaten to overtake a dogring when that same dogring is engaged to an another gear".
    But again that is not what I said.
    If you wish to criticise me, that's fine. But then please quote me, so it will be clear for everybody just what it is that you disagree with.

    What you can do is just right click and copy the text prior to hitting reply, no need to use word. ( i do though, because my spelling sucks and my browser wont play nice with the KB spell check anymore)
    If you get caught out when it times out, yes sometimes using the back button works, But not always.

    I always thought the SeaDoo twin was clever, but they pinched the idea off CZ from 10 years earlier.
