Will Gearbox Be Damaged in Gears Impact?

It is very clear that the teeth impact or shift system parts collisions will cause damages, which range from abnormal gear wear, the result will be that the gearbox works unusually, makes noise or breaks the regular power output, or as severe as causing gear deformation or even fracture, resulting in transmission failure, then need to overhaul.

But it is no sure answer for how many times of gear impacts are safe, sometimes one or two gear collisions can cause troubles, sometimes it keeps all right for many times of collisions.

If the transmission shift system parts quality is reliable, those damages are generally very rare to occur. But we still have to keep good drive habits and proper operation to avoid the gear impact.
