gearbox adjuster screw.

[Jeffro]

Hi can any one tell me how many turns of gearbox adjuster screw needs before final adjustment, i have been experiencing the same problems as Peter Roper had in his discussion dated October 2005.

i had major problems backing off lock nut and backed off the adjuster screw an un known amount and not sure how far to screw in.

Jeffro,

When you get the locknut off adjust the adjust nut and watch your shift lever.It while go to a high or low point(depending on which way you turn it)then return.You adjust it to where you feel the engagement feel right for you.No specific amount of turns.Some say dont bother with this.I did but it didn't help with my missed shifts.

Are you having shifting problems?There can be many causes if so.

You'll get more looks in the Technical section with this.

Hi mznyc

 

Thank you for the reply, i am new to this forum stuff so not sure were and how to do stuff.

Ended up taking the pres-elector cover off and pulling apart the seer ring assembly checked out the pawl spring and boss arm it looks as if they have been replaced as the spring is a loose fit on the pawl arm boss no sign of wear, got a bit paranoid about pawl spring breakage after reading up on all the issues here.

adjusted the gearbox adjuster screw whilst cover off, shifts better with some fine adjustment it doesn't matter how far the adjuster screw is in or out as long as the lock nut and cap screw still tighten just needs that fine tuning once happy with the depth of adjuster screw.

Wasn't impressed with the seeger ring shafts having no seals between cover im thinking of using bearing retaining compound to hold in place as oil has been weeping out, have you heard of this been done before.

Also i have noticed that the pawl arm rubs against the bottom seeger gear if gear shaft has pressure pushing inwards so will be looking at tightening gear shaft as far into wards the case as possible, hope fully this will sort the problem out.

 

My initial problem is gear lever seems to be “sticky” and some times drops from 5th to a neutral between 3rd and forth when changing down.
