I've pulled 5th gear off......can't see an X so at least I'm confident which gear to get.
I've decided that I will in fact go for the taller fifth.
Prolly order all the stuff from M'bins tomorrow.
Too many reds now, I'll order too many bits.

If you had to use a puller to get 5th gear off you might need a new shaft too.

I did need to use a puller Roy, and use a little heat from my mini propane torch.Roy Gavin wrote:If you had to use a puller to get 5th gear off you might need a new shaft too.
I did wonder about having to 'pull' a bearing that was retained by a circlip. Should I call the fire brigade?

It's Sunday morning, 7:45. That's my excuse.
I meant I had to pull the bearing, not the GEAR.
I knew there was more to your smiley face....

Re: 5 speed ribbed tranny rebuild
A package arrived today from Motobins which I've yet to open...
I do believe there is a taller 5th in there.
Gotta get this rebuild right.

Let me know if you want me to fly over and help out.
