[QUOTE="Matty, post: 32441, member: 1339"] Hi There was a vey long thread ( 7 pages or so) about the Comet gearbox a few weeks ago. This was mainly about a problem with top gear engagement and consequent siezing of the selector fork onto the sliding gear. So before rebuilding the box it would be a good idea to check the engagement of the dogs for top, the end play in the selector shaft etc. Have a look at this thread, which contains a lot of very valuable information and probably covers most aspects of setting up and rebuilding a Burman box - though it may take a while to read and frighten you to death with all the problems which the box can have - though mine has worked fine since 1957 but needed some TLC !! The thread is Titled " Burman 4th Gear Selector Meltdown" and started on 27/09/2011 - finished 09/02/2012 All the best Matty [/QUOTE]
