Lutz, thanks for sharing your experience with the gearbox and I will take into consideration the new gearbox housing from Shapeways if the thrust washers don't solve the problem.
Here is a link I've been using as a guide for a NWSL gearbox assembly. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.markschutzer.com/tutorials/Gearbox_Assembly_101.pdf">http://www.markschutzer.com/tutorials/G ... ly_101.pdf</a><!-- m --> In the link it talks about the gap at the top of the gear box needing to be there to insure that the shaft bearings get locked into place. But, I do understand that if there is not enough clearance for the worm gear to turn correctly, that the gearbox could be defective. I did not notice this in my case, though.
Thx
Mark
