RIGHTO!!

I just got my SHS high torque motor, installed it expecting everything to operate normally... It's just a motor swap right? Wrong. It fails. Somehow, the SHS high torque is unable to pull the piston all the way to the back of the gearbox and it jams up...

I took the SHS out and put the stock back motor in, picking the piston up where the SHS left off, and it cycles normally... What the hell?? How can a torque motor not be able to pull while the stock motor could?? I tried different heights for the SHS to no avail.

One thing I noticed is the Pinion on the brand new SHS high torque is not down the shaft all the way. The pinion itself has a screw in it to hold it to the shaft (unlike my stock motor, where the pinion just slides off). On the SHS, the pinion looks like it still has ~1.5mm to move down the shaft towards the endbell, but I can't loosen the pinion screw cause I can't figure out how.... Like I can't see what kind of head cause it's so small.

I also thought the SHS high torque was purple?? I got a black one... The labels are the same, with the wolf and all... and it definitely has neo magnets cause it goes apesht whenever I set it next to my tools XD

EDIT:

Scratch what I wrote about the gap on the pinion... I guess it's normal

Judging by that picture, my motor is fine... There's that gap between the pinion and the silver thing that the spring sits over..

But my motor still fails to pull the piston all the way while the stock one can do it no problem... WTH? Torque motor my butt!!!!

Also, the SHS is a little longer than the stock motor... oddly, by ~1.5mm.. perhaps because of the gap below the pinion?

EDIT 4:

Solved. Thanks a bunch MaciekA! The motor actually feels really different! And on full auto there's almost no spin-up time!!
