gearbox problem model 8

Post by red_dog49 »

hi all, had this problem where i could not select 3-4th with the gearbox assembled but all ok manually moving selector pawl.
so i have renewed all that is possible in the outer case except for pawl itself which i could not find.
while on the lookout for a spare i stripped and rebuilt the gearbox again,seemed ok.
found a pawl on ebay that looked ok so fitted it up,again all gears select ok,maybe ok i think so go for a run around for 5 mins but gradually getting 1st gear becomes difficult then no way but 2-3-4 ok.
could the problem still be the pawl ratchet thing 041283 any suggestions greatly appreciated.
stay safe
Rob.
