| Post subject: | Gearchange problem |
Hi there, I have a 4 synchro remote change box, with a Magic wand gear lever, fitted to my Moke, I think the motor was originally in a Van? The problem i have is that the gear change is very loose, and I have excess play in the selector rod that comes out from the top of the diff housing. I removed the bottom cover and found that the lever is worn on the ball where it fits into the locating pad, and is almost worn into a circle. The question I have is, is it possible to get new bushes for the selector rod, and how do I remove the old one?, and would it be possible to weld the damage on the lever and re-surface it? Or does anyone have a servicable lever they do not want anymore? Any help appreciated!! Thanks |

The bronze bushes for the selector shaft are still available I think (#2A3502, 2 of,) but not sure about building up the shaft with weld beads. I think the metal would be to soft to take the wear. |

Obviuosly, you will need to remove the engine/bear box and then the shaft. The bushes are a press fit in the housing and easily removed with a drift and BFH. |

The bushes are available but they are too slack on even a new shaft, I made my own bushes from LG2 bronze bar. Bushes wear more than the shaft does. If shaft is worn I go find a better one. 
Grease it well, it's a bastard to get a gun onto once it's in the car. |

Thanks Doc, What is your opinion on the gear lever, do you think it would be o.k to repair the wear with weld, or do you think I should try to find a better one? |
