Axial play in gearbox output shaft.

[pete roper]

Paul, by axial play in the output shaft I take it you mean play in the line of the axis? ie, the shaft goes in and out of the box as if it is moving in the bearing?

 

If so then the bloke whose bevelbox I did this week says his does it too! So it may be quite *normal*. seems a bit odd to me though. If you take it to bits can you tell us what you find.

 

thanks.

Yes pete that's it. I hate to take the bike apart for that. So I was wondering what should keep the axle on it's place, and can be wrong?
