[QUOTE="derek, post: 3322, member: 527"] [b]Gearbox input shaft nut[/b] Thank's everyone for the advice, I have found that the nut was recessed and thus passing over the end of the splines and tightenning up on the kickstart rachet, thus clamping the shaft to third gear and ballrace. I now realise that the shaft does not tighten to the ballrace, but floats in it. (not good engineerin practice!) Therfore it means that the distance piece at the drive end between the input and output shafts is very important, is this 1/2" thick as the distance between mine measures 0.515". All of the above seems to indicate that shims to the tophat sleeve are not required. When I have aquired the correct size distance peice I will fit the input shaft.using locktight between it and ballrace and tophat sleeve. [/QUOTE]
