[QUOTE="Phil Arundel, post: 96025, member: 3659"] Hi Bill, I have been working on the gearbox again today and found myself thoroughly frustrated with it. I thought I had found an issue where the layshaft selector was interfering with one of the gears - but not the problem. I took a closer look at the selctor bat G30 and found it to be in a rather poor condition (ie not allowing the layshaft selector to run smoothly. So....I called Graham at Maughan's to order e new one. While on the phone I discussed the problem of being able to select 2,3,& 4th gear but not neutral and 1st. He suggested I check if the camplate G32 was running true on its spindle G34 - lo and behold the camplate is running out by about 2mm thus (Grahame suggests) not allowing the selection of 1st & neutral - I presume by placing pressure on the layshaft selector fork (as indicated by 'scuffs on the camplate caused by the layshaft selector fork). Fingers crossed this is causing the problem - I will report back when the camplate has been trued up on the camplate spindle. Cheers, Phil [/QUOTE]
