[QUOTE="Matty, post: 29308, member: 1339"] Hi All I rebuilt my gearbox on Christmas Eve with 1mm of shims behind the output gear and it did not quite touch either the gear selector shaft or the gear on the layshaft - roughly 1mm clear I guess. I have replaced my cracked casing thanks to Clev trev and both mainshaft bearings with sealed ones from Peter Barker. Finished the job while lunch was being prepared on Christmas Day and refilled with 800gm of thixotropic grease, via a grease nipple I put onto the casing. Did a 20 mile run today (Boxing Day) and it is all fine, with very positive changes and pretty quiet in 3rd gear. Hope all your boxes are good as well - though I worked out I have spent about £380 on my box in the last 2 years, with several new gears, some bearings, layshaft, the case, grease etc. etc. Suppose it's not too bad over the 55+ years I have been using it !!! Happy riding next year. Matty [/QUOTE]
