working out clusters???

[dan400]

how do i work out what cluster i have in my f10 and f 13 boxes??

count all the gear teeth.

clean them off, then put dots on with tippex & work thru them.

the other way involves turning the input shaft slowly & seeing how quick the output turns.... less mess but very time consuming.

Looking at the end plate will be a start. look for 3.74C or 4.18W (numbers may be different) C & W is close\ wide cluster and the number id the Final Drive. That may reduce time spent counting teeth a bit.

If you know the box has never been messed with that is

[garyc]

you can identify the FD by notches

6 NOTCH 3:5
5 NOTCH 3.77
3 NOTCH 3.94
0 NOTCH 4.18
1 NOTCH 4.22
2 NOTCH 4.5

Indeed. Velos told me they'd seen a few boxes with the correct F13CR end plates that didn't actually get the CR gear set from the factory. Not unusual but you need to check to be sure.
