Do you know the rear-end gearing? See this post to pick the correct tooth count in the turtle.

i may have to replace my turtle due to stripped threads...so this thread interests me.

so can i assume that if i replace my turtle with a new turtle with the same tooth count, i will, most likely, not experience the problems outlined by the owner of this thread?

the only reason i ask, is that if the answer is "yes", then i need to remove the old turtle and count its teeth before ordering a new one.
