Troubleshooting Common Issues

The B6.3 manual addresses common issues like shock oil viscosity, worn suspension parts, and improper gear mesh. It also covers electrical wiring problems for optimal performance.

7.1 Shock and Chassis Setup Problems

Common issues include improper shock oil viscosity, leading to inconsistent damping, and over-tightened shocks causing reduced suspension travel. Chassis problems may arise from uneven weight distribution or loose components. Ensure proper torque specs and verify o-ring lubrication. Consult the setup sheet for optimal configurations and refer to troubleshooting guides for resolving these issues effectively. Regular maintenance and correct assembly are key to avoiding performance hindering problems. Use green slime on o-rings for better sealing and reduced wear.

7.2 Gear and Transmission Maintenance

Regularly inspect gears for wear and damage. Lubricate the transmission with Motorcraft Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid. Ensure proper mesh between pinion and spur gears. Clean and inspect the Octalock spur gear and LCF pads for debris. Replace worn or damaged components promptly to maintain smooth operation. Avoid over-tightening, as this can lead to premature wear. Always consult the manual for specific torque specs and lubrication recommendations to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
