I think whether or not I need it, at this point, isn't really the point for me. This whole thing is just one big learning process for me. So the point for me is, will I learn something by doing it? And I think the answer here is yes. So, Unless it's something that I should wait till my next rebuild to do (i.e. walk before you run) then I think I should go ahead and try.
But it's nice to know that if I get fully frustrated with doing it, that I can move on without any real harm.
Oh, did you happen to want the Krylon that I offered in the first part of this post???

Transmission Help
Crossing (X'ing) the gears is pretty well explained in this thread;http://www.honda305.com/forums/viewtopi ... xing+gears
I believe it is not necessary in the CA77 as it is already geared for the road. 63 CA78
I gotta ask about this since I will probably be tearing my engine down in a few weeks. What does x-ing mean exactly? I understand that you are crossing or swapping components on either the main shaft or the output shaft, but I don't understand how that could work considering that gear sets are made to fit each other, tooth to tooth. In my understanding, if you were to try and swap gears, then they wouldn't fit any other gear due to the number of teeth and the OD of the gear itself. I have not been into a honda gearbox, but I've rebuilt other transmissions and transaxles. When you're swapping gears, do they match the other gears?
It's quite obvious, even to me, that I'm wrong about it, I just don't seem to understand the procedure. Maybe when I get my engine split and have something to look at, I'll see what you guys are talking about.
X ingWhen you look at the pics I posted on the previous page, number the gears you see. Top row left to right 1234 and on the bottom left to right
5678 You swap gears 2 &7 then 3&6 . Thus the reference to "X" They do fit and give a much more even ratio. Rusty
