Problem with gear box type 9.

Finding it difficult to select gears.

Goes into gear then difficult to

Get out into next selection then then difficulty in taking it out of this gear on the down shift but it's on all selections and random

On different selections

Anyone had similar experiences.

Saddle bearing on gear stick

Brass type is ok .

If you have checked the saddle bearing then you probably have checked the gear lever bearing aswel, is the clutch fully disengaging ? could be a pressure plate faillure.

Just a thought:

Could your clutch be about giving up resulting in an unable do fully disengage?

If the engine isn't running and running through shift sticks in various gears and it is random which gear you are unable to come out of.

Further investigation in the selector area found a pile of grease cleaned all this out found the saddle mounting pin area heavily

Scored and the grease full of bits of black plastic from previous broken saddles a brass one had been fitted at some time put everything back without gaiter and gave it a test drive .All is well !!.credit card breathed a sigh of relief it was heading for a

hammering.

One good thing from this no heat build up in cockpit .Cooked hand but legs and chassis rails cool . Further investigation required

Any suggestions to direct heat build up from this area.
