Hi all
Where can I get gearbox shims?
The bearing on the primary shaft. Any tips on changing it if you don't have a press?
Any thoughts appreciated.

Is it the top shaft (primary)? Use the shim you had and adjust the selector forks if required. Only the lower shaft(pinion) need a shim to set the pinion distance if the rear bearing has been changed. Gearbox Guru Rick is you man really. |

Thanks Pete As per Haynes, I wanted to adjust the end float on the layshaft and main shaft. I found the following site. https://www.thebearingcompany.co.uk/cat ... egory=1716 Can't find the gearbox pixie dust section, but will give it a go. I may be some time.

Roger, any chance of letting us know which section of Haynes you're working from, so that this shim can be identified? Struggling with nomenclature here, it'd be a lot easier if everyone used 'input shaft', 'main shaft' and 'pinion shaft'...

Hi Ken/Pete Haynes page 76. Gearbox section. Gear adjustment. Endfloat - 2nd gear idler Roller thrust bearing Page 83, 2nd image for measuring current endfloat on mainshaft. I was going to add a shim next to the spacer collar. Page 84 for measuring reduction gear/laygear endfloat. I was going to add a shim to either end of the existing shims as appropriate. There is play in both of these areas. I was mostly trying to reduce the layshaft moving up and down the pinion shaft. Of course ....... I could be being to pedantic.  Thanks guys |

My Haynes manual 196, 1967 - 1990, shows these items just one page before those stated; 75;82;83. |
