Re: Vectrix Gearbox Clunking

open it up and check the bolts that attach the gearbox to the motor

they've been known to snap :-)

no seriously, it's not a big deal to open it up, and at the same time you can change the oil.

that's what I should have done when I first heard something..

"doing nothin = doing nothing wrong" is invalid when the subject is environment

Thanks for the recommendation. She's new so the oil should be ok. The Bolts you refer, to check them, the gearbox must be opened?
What's happened with you?

Re: Vectrix Gearbox Clunking

This noise is normal.

It is called "Cogging Torque".

See this post (and preceding ones) http://visforvoltage.org/forum/4193-mik-question-about-gear-noise#comment-30415 for more details.

Thanks Mik, I know what you refer, but it's not the case. This video is not mine and could be inducing in error, I'll record my situation soon as possible because I have 4 Vectrix in my garage right now and this one is the only with this specific sound that has being going worse as the time passes.
