Default Cougar Sv layshaft

Is it a good idea to glue in the needle pins to the layshaft before putting the o rings on. I ask because my first gearbox shredded when a pin came out!

Could you use roll pins instead of the solid pin? A good tight fitting one? Saw a couple of cars had these pins coming out at the weekend. Mine seems fine so far. Not sure why these were coming out. Any ideas?

My theory is that the original o rings are too soft and expand too much under the centrifugal force generated by the fast rotation hence the ring comes off or, expands sufficiently to allow the pin to fall out. Not 100% sure though.

Why not Carl? Fair play to schuey for replacing my damaged parts this time ( which suggests to me that they know this could be an issue) but I doubt they would keep replacing parts in these circumstances.

The first pins I had were fine and so are the replacement pins I have. Was thinking of using loctite retaining compound which I have experience with in other applications at work. This would defo hold the pin during running but one sharp tap of a pin punch would release it if necessary.

What I have used and let all US drivers in on is a external snap ring size of 7/16". It looks like the ring for the thrust bearing, but the ears face out, and obviously larger.

Thanks again Raul.

I have had both o rings let go both with no damage, I had to run it for a race with all the o ring debris still there and no o ring. The originals are smaller than the replacement ones I have fitted thus they where under stress to start with.

Have emailed Schumacher this morning and will go from there.

SteveB if he gets time (work pressures) will prob call Phil at Schumacher.

i think a better question would be to ask why there are drive pins inside the gearbox at all. i am sorry to say that, in my opinion, its a really poor design especially when there is potential for them coming loose and wrecking the gears. its a pity they didn't copy the B4/X6 gearbox style for this car - funnily enough there are no drive pins in those gearboxes - its almost like they knew what they were doing

on second thoughts, maybe they will just fall out of the gap at the rear of the gearbox before causing any damage !

It'd make a lot more sense,and are people really going to be changing the internal ratio that often? It'd still make more sense to just swap layshafts instead of disassemble/reassemble.
