Join Date: Feb 2005 It is widely believed that you need to set your sector gear with the tappet plate post at the one o'clock position when reassembling your mechbox.

Although doing it this way doesn’t hurt, it does not have to be strictly "one o'clocked". Think about it, the sector gear is a half-toothed gear which has multiple teeth partially formed on the periphery and an idle area formed on the remainder of the periphery. This design is supposed to provide an optimal means for pulling the piston into a compressed position when needed. When idle, the teeth formed on the periphery are not in touch with the piston. When you pull the trigger, the sector gear is driven anti-clockwise, which eventually will have its teeth getting in touch with the piston. This is when all the actions get started. Effectively, this mean the gear system will time the gears properly by itself.

What we are trying to say is that as long as the sector gear is in a position where all the teeth are facing downward (a position anywhere between 12:30 and 3:00, such that no tooth is in touch with the piston at the time of installation), it will do fine. Still, by having the gear "one o'clocked", you can enjoy a slightly faster initial response time (and peace of mind too). That’s all.
