madmanluke Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 take the left side of the truck. unscrew all screws that are on that side plate. take side plate off. now to the other side of the truck. unscrew the back end of the truck so the whole back end of the truck comes off. you can now unscrew the screws on the right side plate including going to the gear box including the ones that go in just under the engine. pull on the enging a bit and wiggle it out. unscrew the 2 screws attaching the engine plate to the gear box and start assembling again!

dazzi220 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 47/17 as far as I'm aware they used the stock truck with a 3 speed thats it (lost the mag) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samari Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I I remember correctly the stock truck comes with both 16 and 18 tooth gears, I just presumed they used the 18 tooth if they were looking for high speed runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 The 4.6 kit does come with only 17/47 gearing but the stock .25 comes with 16 and 18t CB's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleyboy007 Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 Still no gearbox in stock today will deffo be with me tommorow. Strip down one side of the savage today and noticed on my clutch bell the silver screw part number (86271) was loose is this suppose to be tight or loose as was about half way undone?????? if it was undone what would this make savage do? lack of power? clutch not working correct? or even worse damage to my clutch?

Mel Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 if it is for the 4.6 it is 1/2 a turn from it's factory setting because it is setup for the .25 engine and it is the same with the 3rd gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 no engine can be tuned sherrly on the fact that a good setting is say 1 turn in from flush. no engine will have a nice tune at that. you should tune it properly, not ask for howmany turns in you shoul have it,. garantueed if you try it it wont work. a savvy 25 comes with a 15 tooth clutch bell and a 18 tooth clutch bell and the 4.6 comes with only a 17 tooth as far as im aware.

Yes this is right, remember that you a likely to be experiencing different weather conditions in your area compared to that of the poster's, added to the fact that every engine is different mean that there is no universal tune for engines.
