[QUOTE="Howard, post: 18021, member: 271"] I'm still fettling the Egli after a long layoff. I've got to the point where it's got lots of minor problems, but it's reliable and still fun to ride, so I'm making use of the few good days of Summer to notch up a few miles, and leave the tinkering till the weather goes cold(er). Yesterday it stuck in third gear, not a problem, it doesn't do it often, it's just gear pedal adjustment (one of my minor Winter jobs), and a quick nudge of the gear indicator sorts it. The problem is I pulled away too slowly in third, and I was greeted with all sorts of complaints from the transmission, noises (indescribable) and lots of juddering. I'm thinking ESA. Possibly weak springs, hopefully not unscrewed nut. The unscrewed nut is not likely, it was loctited, drilled and wired after it cost me a 2nd at Cadwell a few years ago. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of leaving it for now, it's not a problem as long as I don't cock up the gearchanges, but if anyone has a tale of woe on this subject I'd like to hear it now, rather than when I'm explaining how I wrote of my engine on the Forum.
