this is why ....

These are Rod-Change Selector forks....

there us a word for these forks, and it sounds a lot like FORKED .....

I've replaced them with some Great Second hand ones i had, and the amount of "slop" in the gearbox is nearly non-existant now.. very happy with it !

Also re-did the bearings and did some Baulk ring selection to get the best fit and clearances...

Yay, my first gearbox build !! - yay me !

Cheers all
J

Typical shagged out selector.
Seen a few before in my travels :lol:

Pulling gearboxes apart is the fun part... the opposite isn't so fun, and IMHO should only be tackled by "experts".
(See whodat thread) :lol:

Good luck James... PS did u get the speedo drive all good?

Yea willy, i did, thanks...

I gotta say, the opposite of what you are saying.. pulling it apart was a bitch, never done one before... but putting it together.. less than an hour ...

gotta tackle that 150 ft/lb nut tomorrow morning, I just dont have the strength at the moment (and my whole neighborhood is asleep! well, it is half-past midnight!!) then pop the diff, outputs and speedo plates back on, and away we go !!

hopefully have it dropped onto the motor tomorrow evening so i can finish the engine asap ... gotta run this puppy in !
