Whats back cutting the gears?
Back cutting the gears is a modification done to your shift dogs. Each of your transmission gears have three teeth on them that interlock with three other teeth on the ajoining gear in order to engage a gear. These teeth are called the shift dogs. Back cutting is when they take the otherwise straight teeth and cut a backwards slant on them. The matching teeth also have this slant cut in them so that the gears now interlock. This prevents the transmission from jumping out of gear on halfassed shifts like power-shifting. Instead the transmission locks together tighter. Hence no skipped gears means longer transmission life and your shifts are MUCH smoother.
