ronhatch Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hi all, I have just fitted my gearbox and thought my solution might be useful. After struggling trying to get the spline entered with a lot of jiggling I removed the box and had a think. The problem seemed to be there wasn't much forgiveness in the end of the spline and the disk, so I took a grinder ( I know! ) and put a small shoulder on the end of each spline ( careful there ). I put the gearbox back in place and with a bit of a jiggle it went home. It went in so sweet I thought there must be something wrong ! I don't know if this has been mentioned before but I hope it helps. Regards Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfried Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi Ron, Certainly a good idea. Don't be afraid of grinding a bit: removing some material at places where they are not needed but only hinder smooth assembly does only improve the system. I am doing this since I have a Dremmel, but not telling it to friends who insist on "originality". Wilfried Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barry911 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 What a good idea: I'm guessing the front of the spline ends up a little bit beyond the friction plate centre anyway. As my gearbox is on the bench in bits now, I'll add that to the ever increasing list of jobs! Many thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
