LOOKING AT DRY FILM LUBE COATINGS FOR TRANSMISSION PARTS
LOOKING AT DRY FILM LUBE COATINGS FOR TRANSMISSION PARTS
(OP)
We have a transmission that simply will not shift under load. We increase the engine output by 300% and this creates binding in the sequential transmission. The thought came to mind to try and reduce friction on all the sliding components in the trans to help shift quality.
I am looking for real (not theoretical) feedback on DFL coatings to see if they are more of a fluke than actually helpful. I have a hard time believing that a moly coating will be much different than oil with moly in it...
Thanks

Valuable advice from a professor many years ago: First, design for graceful failure. Everything we build will eventually fail, so we must strive to avoid injuries or secondary damage when that failure occurs. Only then can practicality and economics be properly considered.

Try polishing in line of draw as the dogs disengage.

We actually make an ignition interrupt so I know what you are referring to. Problem is even with it, we have to cut the power way too long to get it to shift. This trans is just NOT smooth at all. We will probably start by removing some of the dogs that are not used and see if it will find a gear easier.

I wouldn't use complete ignition interruption, but rather just retard the timing for the shift.
