I assembled the gearbox today, and I think I found something which might be a serious fault ? And maybe this is why I had problems engaging 3rd / 4th ?
After putting it together, I needed 15 Nm to turn the pinion shaft (nut fastened to 62 Nm as per book). So I think I need a thicker spacer (mine is 4.64 mm).
But I also could not engage any gear on the LH shaft (LH as seen from a driving position). So I took it apart again, and found that 2 of the three small silver „snappers“ under the sliding gear next to the baulk ring have come out a bit- I pushed them carefully back down with a screwdriver and then the sliding gear could be moved again, but they kept coming out again when I tried to slide the gear forth and back.
Then I found a strange spring wire ring around the pinion shaft on top and next to the baulk ring- and I think it belongs in the groove behind the 3rd baulk ring (see picture, I put it in there, it was not there before). If it is there, the baulk ring is kept nearer to the main ring for this gear, and the three „snappers“ cannot jump out. Maybe its a strange fix ?
Problem is, the wire ring seems to be too long to stay in the groove, it overlaps by 1cm. See picture. What might be a proper solution to this ?
