[QUOTE="Matty, post: 94521, member: 1339"] Hi All This is Matty who has noticed that someone has a Burman problem. As you can see a lot of thought has been given to the gearbox over the years but I there is more information on the Forum when I can find the time to look for it. I have used grease from Draganfly with success - despite their warning that it may contain nuts !! I have recently used grease from Classic lubricants called PENRITE which is OK. However it still leaked from the drive side, so I bought the bearing spacer with an oilseal from Draganfly BUT had a thin groove cut onto the outside and fitted a large diameter O ring to act as a seal. Think this is mentioned on the forum somewhere. I replaced 3rd gear but still noisy until I replaced worn bronze layshaft bushes which allowed the shaft to run out of line and gears to mismesh. Have to rush off to play in a Jazzband now and may have more to say when I have more time. Matty [/QUOTE]
