Seen the results of not disengaging one gear before selecting the next, not mine thankfully, but it spat the pieces it did not like out through the back .
Think that was probably a selector or shaft flex problem, on a bike...
Cars put a lot more strain everywhere,
worked on one westfield car with busa motor, and had to pull it down for gearbox repairs, race cut all the gears on both drive side and decell , but the thing that stood out most to me was the galling of the casehalves , they had fretted against one another like i had never seen before, put case studs in to try and hold it better , in that circumstance i could see how the middle gears of the set like 3 and 4 could flex the shafts enough to do a lot of damage , and made me carefull just how much load i put on turbo bikes on the dyno in those gears
