- description
Long gearboxes run a longer stroke, and the piston has to carry more teeth to match it. This one carries nineteen.
Put a standard rack into a long shell and the sector gear picks it up at the wrong point. You lose stroke, the timing goes out, and the engagement lands across fewer teeth than it should.
Platforms using this length include the SR25 pattern and the R85. If you are not certain which shell is in front of you, count the teeth on the piston you removed before ordering.

Good to know before you buy
This is a platform part rather than an upgrade. It suits shells built for the longer stroke and it will not go into a Version 2 or Version 3.
Frequently asked questions
Will it fit a Version 2 gearbox?
No. The rack is longer than a Version 2 shell allows. Those take a fourteen or fifteen tooth piston instead.
How do I confirm my gearbox takes this?
Count the teeth on the old piston. Nineteen puts you in the right place.
Does it come with a piston head?
No, the piston is supplied on its own.
