Gearbox Re-Assembly...Gear allignment

[Shaddow]

I hope to get the final pieces to do my gearbox upgrade today and wanted to check a few points before I start putting it all back together.

Do I need to align a certain part of the gear with the piston, or can any part of the gear line up with any part of the piston upon re-assembly?

EG: Piston all the way in to cylinder and gear section with half width teeth align with piston?

I don't want to mis-align the piston to gear and then break / strip something when I pull the trigger.

Obviously the gear has teeth all around it, but there is a section of teeth that are only half width.

Thanks for any advice given.

First tooth on sector gear needs to align with the pick up tooth on the piston.

Best advice I can give is to look up videos on youtube on gearbox assembly. Watch a few until you know it off by heart and keep the best ones bookmarked for reference to look at while you are doing it.

Thanks. Will do a search and watch some clips. Guess when the teeth are aligned, the piston will be pushed all the way in, so spring has least amount of compression when re-assembling.

Unfortunately just found out the part I have being machined wont be ready today, so no re-assembly just yet.
