I've tested the sector and piston meshing without the spring in place. All the teeth match up and the sector teeth seem to engage the piston teeth properly.
I guess the issue is that in the second piston set up (with the high torque motor) i didn't swiss cheese the piston. Maybe if i do that it will help.
I'll get a new piston (nylon fiber).. swiss cheese it... and maybe remove one metal tooth from piston and sector..
is it ok to just remove 1 tooth from both piston and sector? or does a pre-engagement fix always mean 3 teeth removed?
