Doing some work this quiet Saturday morning and found an opportunity to talk about maintenance. This customer admittedly did not know how often or to service their Ballspline at all as they had simply not owned one beforehand.
These ballspline/roller slide transmissions are great peices of equipment that handle a lot of travel with almost no drag IF they are well maintenance. Bert Transmissions recommend service/rebuild and completely fresh lubricant in the ballspline every 6 months to a year. If you race in sandy areas or on very gritty fine dirt we recommend doing it even more frequently. We all know bind, in a racecar, is the easiest way to lose a race, and the drivetrain components can sometimes get overlooked or placed lower on importance than they should be. Please use this as a reminder to maintain your equipment this summer and to reach out to Northwestern Speed Solutions LLC all year to keep your car on the track!
If you have been neglecting some service, having issues, or it's simply just time for fresh clutch disks and seals please reach out and we will get you back in winning shape!
