Ok now I'am having an issues, yesterday I have been running the nutech pretty hard, and the stupid set screw keep coming loose on the 2 main drive gear, and it is really making me:mad as hell: I tried to loctite them and everything..do they make gears that you do not need set scews?they they are just slotted?would make more sense.mine do not have any slots on the inside they are round with just set screws in them..

I am sure you've heard this one, but grind the setscrew end flat, that hits the shaft. setscrews have a pointed dimple on the end, grinding a flat gives more surface area to contact... and red loktite ;)

The light weight gears have no screws I believe. Have a look at them.

Yup, the lightweight gears are keyed, so it slides over the shaft...errrr...talking about clutchbell shaft.

file the set screw flat like barry says and red loctite, remember to let the loctite dry before driving, longer the better.
