R2-D2 & ClutchKing

Hey, I've been trying to shave off a few hundredths of a degree on a 10:1 gearbox's syncro ring alignment. Got any robot‑level tricks to keep the clutch humming smoothly?

Hey, first check the bearing preload—too tight and you’ll get that humming buzz. Use a dial indicator on the syncro ring and a torque wrench on the clutch bolts, tighten in a cross pattern to keep alignment even. A light oil or grease on the teeth keeps the noise down, but don’t over‑lubricate or you’ll slip. If you can, slide a small laser or optical comparator in front of the ring to double‑check the 0.01‑degree spot. That should keep the clutch humming smoother than a jazz sax.
