I'm reshimming my gearbox right now to get rid of the whining noise from the noise. I've gotten to the point where I think I have a clue what I'm doing. Horay for me.

considered using .02mm shims?

Hmmm... proper shimming always does wonders....

That seems WAY too much under the gears.

Man woodencow, you couldn't give me that help about a month ago when I was having gearbox problems. LOL It's all good, I got the hang of shimming now...

If I'm not mistaken, he's using bearing bushings...thus, the use of .3 and .5mm shims might be needed....

If I need to upgrade a stock V3 gearbox, do I need shims? And what type of lubricant do I need? thanks

Try taking it to your local airsoft shop??

Yup, that's your best bet to get a properly shimmed mechbox.

:roll:

I now have .3mm under the spur gear, .4mm under the sector gear and 2 under the bevel gear. Thanks for the shimming guide woodencow. I do have systema metal bearings, and working with helical gears.

[quote="D80"] I enjoy figuring it out. I have no problems opening, and reopening my gear box or getting broken parts here and there due to my ignorance. When I first started playing with an AEG, I had no freaking clue what everything was (Decemeber), but since then, I have learned a lot on my own.

I want to do the upgrade myself since I bought the cylinder, cylinder head, nozzle, piston, M120S spring, metal bushing, guarder hop up bucking, and a KM TN barrel. All I need is some shims and some lube.

shut the fuk up you bunch of losers
