Okay.

Mosfet is fine, I've left it to run for a bit with the motor still plugged but disconnected from the gearbox and everything is cold (yeah yeah there is no load, I know) but I figured it would still heat up a little bit.

Also the shimming seems to be fine, haven't cracked the gearbox open yet but the bevel has about 0.1/0.2 millimetres of axial movement even with the motor bolted on and cranked all the way in.

I'll give it a good check anyway.

The wiring is fine, it's not pinched nor cut, when I wired the mosfet (v3 hybrids need some soldering) I considered how the box would sit inside the body and left enough slack to move the wires around a little bit while still not catching on the selector linkage nor the body.

The motor is a 16tpa 29k rpm one (SHS HT but with the E&L logo engraved on the can, comes with the gun) and it's not burned out nor damaged apart from some external scratches.

Did some testing and everything seems to be in working order.

Although now the mosfet can't read the sector gear anymore 😕

I'm gonna have to tear it open again to clean the sensors because the inside of the gearbox is a bit messy, but can't be arsed now, I'll do it this Saturday.

Ok, you may have ruled out the motor and it could be the gear box, have you tried getting a engineers exploded view to verify that the box is back in its proper configuration?

I am sure if the company that makes the gear box understands your predicament, they will release a copy if none are available online.

I did this from my Weirauch HW100 rifle as I needed to strip and service it and cleaning the barrel means disassembly of parts that need drawings! 

As for my RIF, I have been banging on at G & G the importance of having these resources available for people to effect repairs on their sport equipment.

There may be a youtube video for your gearbox unit... I have solved many a problem using youtube this way.

I am waiting until mine need a really overdue service before I try cracking my pair open.

Good luck.
