banshee760 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 ok guys so i wanna know what makes the override an actual override is it just the way they cut the drum or something else? on a dunable what is it that they do also so u can actually down shift on them without blowing something apart ? whats the life span of a override ? whats the life span of a dunable? whats an end cut tranny i heard makes it shift smoother then stock but no quite an override ? and what do u modify on the shiftstar and why ??? i have basic know how of this stuff but alot of it is my comensence and my comon sence and true facts of how it works is a big difference well thanx guys !!!!!!inputs apreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drum is modified. The concept behind it is that you can up-shift @ wide-open-throttle. Its smooth as butter if done right. certain gears have a rounded back-cut that when the next higher gear is selected the rotational speed of the main gear shaft & other gears slaps the previous gear out of play. You'd have to see one to get what I'm saying, but once you do see one its easy to understand. Down-side is that you can't back-load it. If you let the tires drive the trans you will bend forks and possibly chew up gears. You have to do it quite a bit or really not know how to ride an override though. In short, the duneable is just an override with springs on the shift fork shafts to assist the forks with back-loading. Its more forgiving, but if you back-load it a lot, it will eventually give out just like an override. (ask bonbon here on HQ how his duneable did... lol) The life-span of both is directly related to how you treat them. Abuse them and they won't last long. Take good care of them, they will last a long time. Locogato has a duneable that's been in for years without issues. An end-cut transmission is just taking a stock trans and side-cuting 3 of the 6 dogs off the sides of the gears. It gives the transmission more rotational time to engage with the next gear. I consider end-cutting or side-cutting a basic mod that should be done to any banshee transmission. This can also be taken a little farther and mill and engagement face of the dogs to be perfectly flat and smooth. It helps the gears stay engaged if done correctly. On the shift-star you round the high-points of the star down to a nice smooth curve instead of a peaky mountain top. It just helps add to the ease of shifting.
