Re: one bitch of a gearbox
That is your motor alignment. If you have to unscrew the grip slightly, then the motor is pushed too far in. Tighten the handle again and you should see a small allen key hole on the bottom of it. Loosen the grub screw and check how it sounds as you go. Stop when it is quietest.

Re: one bitch of a gearbox
make sure your motor "bounces" up and down freely on its spring, if it doesnt make it so number 1.

Re: one bitch of a gearbox
depends on where its getting stuck i guess. Some grips ive had to sand them a little but usually its a matter of routing the wirers properly

Re: one bitch of a gearbox
Sounds either your grip is out of line, or you have shimmed the bevel too close.

Re: one bitch of a gearbox
the bevel? any reason why it would just be the bevel gear? and yeah maybe sanding the grip will help definitely seems a problem area
