Default Re: 3 speed tranny's and ball bearings... NOT recommended?

being a synchromesh gearbox the bearings are not on the elements supposed to slide. so I don't see how steel on steel wearing of the shaft could make a problem...

So honestly... i'd battle against drivetrain drag as a first priority. As for waterproofing...be generous with the gunky silver antiwear grease between all the shelling parts...
