Jim 1 Posted September 14, 2006 Have you checked to make sure the circlip on the left hand side / centre of the mechanism under the gaitor is in tact? Failing that you might just need to get it all aligned up, and a gearbox oil change with something like Silkolene Silktran Syn 5 or Redline MT90 wouldn't go amiss :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rado 0 Posted September 14, 2006 thx for the info will hav a loook is this a common problem this circlip does it tend to snap ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted September 14, 2006 Its certainly not uncommon. If you pop the gear surround up it should sit on a central shaft running left to right through the middle of the gear change mech - the circlip is usually green coloured and is on the left hand side. Most people who experience big problems with gear change pop that cover up and see it in two pieces just to the side! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
