any idea who made/where to find more - 6 gear idlers
On one of my 6 gear trannies, when I cracked it open it had red idler gears..not dyed, but molded in red. Very faintly I can read (I think) Polar Plastics, somewhere NY.
They are extremely smooth. One gear is a bit chewed and noisy, but still smoother than stock gears (and they only use 3 of the annoying little tiny retainer screws).
also, kinda of side note...any other way to hold the bearings in there? I really despise those little tiny screws and the wrench that always gets lost no matter how many times you put it where it wont disappear.

I've seen those idlers before but don't recall who made them. Race Master made a set of idlers made from delrin that were durable and smooth. They also had a snap ring that held the bearings in place.
If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.
