Hi folks,

Can anybody explain why only certain selector plates will work with 8mm and 9mm gearboxes? Is there really a difference besides the longer plate often with the metal contacts?

I'm interested in putting together either an 8mm or 9mm V3 bearing gearbox, but I keep seeing selector plates that say they're rated for 6mm and 7mm. Some say 6mm to 8mm, but not seem to say 9mm. I know that LCT makes a drop in 9mm gearbox now, but the selector plate they use looks just like the one from the 6mm gearbox. Maybe I just don't see the difference, but could someone please explain?

Thanks for your time as always those who can contribute.
