russb Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 When going from neutral to first on my type 9 box I sometimes experience difficulty engaging gear. This is easily overcome by going into 2nd and then into 1st, but it is annoying, any ideas as to the cause..... the clutch is not dragging and the spigot bearing is new, could it be a lubrication problem??

CHRIS CLARK Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 Sounds to me like 1st sychro ring (maybe cracked ?) Suggest a friendly call to Phil Stewart at Road & Race Transmissions, Shoreham, Kent. He'll give you the info/bad news (whatever!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHRIS CLARK Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Arnie. He probably has one of those 'normal' clutches that you can actually 'feel' work/clear etc. Can you remember back to those halcyon days when you had one of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
