Sorry, I was beyond frustrated at that point and so I was sort of grabbing gears from my odds&ends gear set box. I suspect that some of them were TM and some of them were CA gears...probably a couple of G&P mixed in. You're really not supposed to do that.

I was guessing that the bevel gear was too close to the centerline of where the pinion gear was coming up from the grip that it wasn't letting the pinion gear engage enough. By shimming the whole set to the right side, the bevel gear would "move over" enough to allow the pinion gear to seat higher in the mechbox and result in more tooth contact.

At any rate, that was only 1 set of gears...so far from a general trend.

I've mostly stuck to stock gear sets myself. I just bought a set of PP Torque Up gears...but I haven't installed them yet (waiting of a mechbox).

I've tried Systema Helical gears...they were ok...but pricey. I've been eyeing a Prom Helical set...but I kind of hope someone buys them before I do...they're really $$.
