Movement in mirage drive

I have noticed that my mirage drive has ~ 1/8â€

there is always forward pressure when the drive is being used, I do not see it to be a problem. Mine does the same thing. I have a revo that is over a year old, turbo fins as long as they've been out, used on average 3 times a week, nothing has never broken!

This is normal; in fact, it's built that way for a reason. The drive is not designed to teeter from side to side during operation; it must rest solidly on the camwell surfaces. In order to account for manufacturing variations in either the Drive or the well, a front to rear gap is designed in. Accordingly, some drivewells will rock more than others; it's not important as long as there is no lateral rocking.

Remember, the Drive is really supported and reinforced at the cam bolts and the front of the drive well, where all the pressure is applied. If you think about it, there is no substantial pressure on the rear of the drivewell -- it is simply an alignment slot.

i found that if you put a small amount of that "egcrate" shaped packing foam that they ship electronics in, and glue it on the unwanted contact points, it helps alot since i get peeved at repetetive noises like that...

hope that helps

I eliminated movement and clunking by shimming up the contact points with some plastic tubing...

cool, i'll have to try that, the foam on mine keeps on shredding after it gets wet...
