Gearbox Diagrams

F.U.B.A.R

Hi all after getting stung by the cheap internals of a jg g36 and paying a fortune to have it repaired I would like to get my hands on some meterials that would help me better understand the internals of aegs any help at all would be much appreciated :D:D

The Youtube (not Redtube ) or Mechbox.com is good source of information.

yes have been on youtube and mostly canadian or american teens who act like experts and I cant realy understand what there on about although there are a few good vids there and havent heard of mechbox.com I'l have a look at that cheers mafo

Another thing to note is that mechbox.com while being very useful for AEG body and gearbox disassemly videos, it does not however show the trigger assembly of a JG G36c. I learned this the hard way when I first opened my JG G36c.

The spring hopped sideways while I was opening the box . Now, while a screwdriver in the back of the spring guide is helpful when opening the gearbox shell, make sure you are always pushing down on the side of the cylinder, this is because springs much prefer to jump side ways than backwards as I found out, the hard way. Thus, knocking the gears, tappet plate,etc. and in my case, the ENTIRE trigger assembly, every single component of it :mad: , out of place.

Online you can look at other videos and pics of opened up G36c to find out how the trigger assembly is laid out, where each spring goes etc. I would definitely suggest that you learn this before opening your gearbox as I spent hours trying to find something that would help me understand what to do. If this happens to do you do not want to be left not knowing what goes where.

Trigger assemblys are not usually dealt with in videos explaining how to assemble or disassemble a gearbox of an AEG but if it does get knocked out of place while you're working, it's something you definitely want to know rather than spending ages trying to figure it out. I think they should be part of all disassembly videos.

I agree with you 100% but (being my retardedly enquisitive self) I opened up the gearbox by just taking out the screws and puling it apart and low & behold the shrapnel whent flying and thats why the repair was so expensive as I lost a few hard to find nigly bits but I also had to replace all the gears piston spring piston head cylinder and cylinder head :rollyeyes:

I feel for you bud, not a nice thing to happen. That's why I like to have a handheld LED torch in my toolbox when working on one of my AEGs. The bright light can really help in finding those little screws and springs that like jumping about like gymnasts then playing hide and go seek with you .

I found this vid to be very helpfull when i was starting out.

yup should probably get me one of those lol have all the screw drivers allen keys and pliers in the world but no torch haha and have just found one of those sh1ty jg nylon bearings by stepping on it and snapping it in two just aswell I opted for metal ones lol EDIT: I had to replace the internals as the screw holding the piston head to the piston had a go at fredom and fell into the moving gears and Fire trUCKED it all up!

cheers I'l be sure to look at it when Iam aload back on the O2 dongle :O ran up a pretty huge bill looking at youtube and playing games online

Check out Oddy's Airsoft channel on youtube, gives a general idea on how the internals work.
If you spend a long enough time searching you'll find some good animations of the internals in action. (slowed down of course). When I'm back on the laptop tomorrow I'll post the links.

F.U.B.A.R

I have seen the how to upgrade your aeg series but they tend to fast forward past some of the parts that require detailedd explination

DoBhrionn

That is a bit of a nuisance...damn those time lapses *shakes fist to sky*
...any way....
I've found out that taking photos of how it should look before disassembly and each step you took as you take it apart (not sure if you've tried this yet). Really helps in finding all those little bits. Using a soft yet rugged material (like a table mat with ridges) slows down the roll of all those screws and gears
I couldn't find that video I said I'd find, it seemed to disappear in vastness of the inter-web. But if you want to get a good internal diagram, I'd recommend mechbox.com aswell and also arniesairsoft.co.uk Both of which have helped.
Attached is an image of what it 'should' look like, and below that is a basic diagram of a V3 gearbox.

There's a few similar vids on you tube.
Search: Version 2 gearbox animation

Gives you a good idea of what's moving at what time and how everything moves together.

The v3 trigger is easy to install...

its 3 parts. Trigger, 'activation arm' and spring.
Install the spring into the hole near the front hole, trigger 'axle' through the spring circle, so it 'springs' when pushed (hole in trigger for other end of spring arm) then seat the 'activation arm' part in the rear hole, so the triangle on top has the slope facing backwards, (it has a hollow underside, the open end forward)
pop the top on, and make sure the holes are lined up. You can close the box and install the trigger parts last, when the gears and anti reversal, spring etc are all in. You only need to open it slightly to ease them in. I find it easier that way the v3 trigger likes to flop out sometimes.

Ha I actualy understand what your saying theres hope for me yet lol Thanks Firekitten
