As the title, I am redoing my tranny and looking for a few pointers.

I have been running the same bearing for almost two years. I do a break down of the tranny every mid season, and clean the bearing with a brake cleaner. Shoot them more with motor spray, lube with Nifteach oil, and replace.

Am I over running the bearings? The diff always feels smooth, so I went with it. The truck has tons of rip, and I never had a feeling like the tranny was bad. How often do any of you change your bearings?

Next question.

I am going to replace the bearings for the fact they have been in there for two years. Where can I buy a package deal for the tranny? I wouldn't mind bearings for the whole truck as well.

Thanks for looking, any feedback welcome.

If you are getting alot of dirt out of the bearings than maybe it would be a good idea to swap out the bearings. I ran my MF2 indoors on carpet for along time with no bearing issues whatsoever. Just routine maintenance/cleaning.

As far as a package deal on bearings.... www.acerracing.com

I am not really getting any dirt. My main concern was just the life of a bearing.

Thanks for the link!

a trans bearing that is not getting dirty and that is getting cleaned and lubed on a regular basis, should last a hellova long time !! a wheel bearing on the other hand, that gets dirty and takes a beating can be toast in one weekend if not carefull !!

Jerry,
I have 2 plus years on the bearings in my Revo tranny and they are as smooth as when they were new. But I have been through like 10 or more sets of axle carrier bearings.
You need to make it up to Jefferson some saturday. I am running mod buggy and sock truck now. (the Revo is hibernating for the winter)

Thanks for all the info guys.

Doug-I don't know when I will get up to Ryan's, with Bumps-and-Jumps open, that is 20 minutes from my house.

Jerry
