Hi List,
I owe you a response to my shifting woes email I sent several months ago. .
If you recall, I suddenly had shifting into 1st problems (with motor running)
out of nowhere at the VTR Convention last July.
Well, finally pulled the gearbox with help from club members last week and
found nothing broken. I thought maybe a broken fork or bad release bearing
because the clutch was stuck in the engaged position and I had normal movement
on the slave cylinder pushrod.
Found nothing wrong/broken with the fork or Gunst bearing. What was found was
all but 1 bolt holding the clutch pressure plate to the flywheel was very
loose and 2 of the locating pins to position the clutch on to the flywheel
were lying at the botton of the bell housing. it looked asif one of the fork
pins had actually come out of the groove in the release bearing, but not sure.
I'm wondering if one of those locating pins somehow got lodged in between the
fork arm and dislodged the pin from the bearing groove. I know, far fetched
theory
Bottom line, still don't know what caused my shifting woes but put everything
back together on Sat and will test tomorrow (Tues) when I fill the gearbox
with gear oil.
I need to reinstall the Gunst pre-load spring but don't remember how it goes
and don't have the instructions that came with the throw out bearing. Can
anyone provide me with the install instructions for that pre-load spring?
Many thanks and I'll report back after tomorrow re: if it works
