RE: Phyton xv3 ENGINE GEAR
That is the 2 speed shifter, one it to keep it in place on the transmissions axle the other is to change shift times, if your car is shifting good then leave it alone!!!!!! If not, the one that doesnt turn is the one that keeps it on the axle the other one works like this,
turn clockwise to make it shift at higher rpm's
turn counterclockwise to make it shift at lower rpm's.
do only 1/2 turns at a time and try it, be careful not to let it out too much or the spring and ball will fall out and you will need to buy a new shifter.

RE: Phyton xv3 ENGINE GEAR
if its running good at 2 out and 2 1/2 and not overheating then your ok, there is no set needle setting, the 2 1/2 out and 4 out are just base setting to get you going.
