[GreenKeys] 28 ASR Gears?

[Richard M. Gillingham]

I dunno, but given the scarcity of parts, I always.....Always,  shift with 
power off, and rotate the motor (via fan) until I hear the dog click into 
the slot.  It gives me peace of mind if it doesn't do anything else.

Russ,

I wonder if this is true in all cases?
The metal gear transmissions are sliding gears
on a keyed shaft and so they certainly should
be stopped while changing speeds.

The nylon gear transmissions are constant
engagement with a sliding dog that picks
which gearset is transferring power. It
looks like it was made to "shift on the go"

I have a 28KSR that has a rotary knob on the key
board to select the speed and the motor
needs to be turning to get it to shift.

I saw a 28ASR with three keys in the top
row to select the speed, so I'm pretty
sure that one can be changed on the fly
as well.

I have a number of transmissions now and
am thinking a web document to show the
variations and how to tell if what you're
thinking of buying will fit what you want
it to would be nice. (Sure would have saved
me a lot of mis-steps) Anyone want to
collabrate?

Dave, WW8S
