Bullman Posted December 16, 2001 Share Posted December 16, 2001 I have a type 9 gearbox from an xR4i,? with the longer first motion shaft.The sleeve which fits over the shaft where the clutch release bearing slides up and down is damaged.The end of the round sleeve is broken,leaving a jagged edge where the bearing should be.Why has this happened,what has caused this.Does anyone know where I could get a replacement part,will the cover/sleeve from a type 9 2litre first motion shaft be a direct replacement.Any information would be greatly received.Thanks Bullman.

tony isherwood Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Might be worth giving BGH gearboxes a ring (Kent), If he cannot help, he will probably know a man that can. Afraid I dont have his number to hand, but could find it if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Collapse of the thrust bearing can cause damage to the nose of the first motion shaft cover. I believe the short and long are the same part.. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
