Is there two different styles of turtles???? Gears cut on the "reverse" angle???

If you'll look, the turtle gear is essentially straight-cut. The spiral on the drive shaft gear is the one which determines direction.


It should be obvious that if you feel and see the cable turning, the turtle is doing it's job. Sorry I don't have the definitive answer for your problem. DD
