Hi all,
My D shadow has been playing up recently by jumping out of first gear under acceleration.
The steeper the hill or heavier the load, then the faster it jumps out.(i´ve just moved to a rather hilly/twisty part of germany, and having to short shift into second on tight hairpin uphillers is doing nothing for the vins rocket like reputation )
I´ve tried adjusting the gear selector mech, i´ve changed the camplate plunger & spring, all to no avail.
If i try and hold it in gear with my foot, then my foot is forced down and out it jumps again.
My powers of deduction (or should that be destruction) say that the engaging dogs on the end of the double gear are probably tapered, and with increasing load, the double gear is pushed across so disengaging first.
Before i go tearing everything apart (i´ve just polished it ), has anybody any other ideas/theories?
Thanks
