gearbox 'frozen'
Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2016 5:17 pm
If your 1st./2nd. gear synchronizer has come apart, "freezing" 1st. gear, this picture may help for re-assembly. A large jubilee clip holds the springs and ball bearings in place. Then 3 pieces of a suitable metal clothes hanger, with ends appropriately bevelled, are inserted to force the balls down as the synchronizer hub is slowly slid on, pushing the jubilee clip out of the way in the process. The plastic bag prevents ball bearings shooting everywhere if the first attempt fails.[frame][/frame]
Make sure the hub is in the correct radial position-see Haynes re. this.
