Precision second-stage housing for MTX4 transmission

This 2nd gear housing is a purpose-built replacement for the Mugen Seiki MTX4 chassis and is designated MTX3-017. It locates the second-stage spur and bearing stack within the MTX4 gearbox and is intended for maintenance cycles, component replacement, or a gearbox rebuild where accurate second-stage alignment is required.

Compatibility is limited to the MTX4 gearbox architecture; confirm chassis layout prior to ordering. During installation ensure gear mesh, backlash, and bearing preload are reset to match original settings to maintain even tooth contact and minimise wear. Inspect gear faces and bearing surfaces during the swap and replace any components that show wear or deformation.

Use this housing to reinstate correct second-stage geometry and running clearances for reliable drivetrain performance on MTX4 gearboxes.

A correct housing maintains axial and radial alignment of the spur and bearings; precise seating ensures consistent mesh across the gear face which is critical for performance and longevity.
After replacement, verify backlash and mesh under static load and make small adjustments to shims if required to achieve the desired contact pattern for your racing setup.
Inspect gear tooth profile, bearing play, and mounting surfaces; replace any component that deviates from true or shows fatigue to avoid failures during competition runs.
Yes, but recheck mesh and endplay when switching to different spur profiles or thicker gears to ensure stable engagement under load.
