[QUOTE="stumpy lord, post: 56182, member: 207"] Roy, one of the weaknesses of the Vincent Gear box is that the selector pins in the selector forks (G29as) and (G2as) are not un known to fall out and drop into the gears with horrible results. I believe this happened to a member many years ago whilst crossing the Nebular plain in Australia with disastrous results. As Norman said, you will have to go into the box to find out just what damage has been done. If you are lucky it may only be down to a pin being loose and dropping clear into the bottom of the box. If that's the case the pins can be replaced with pins that have a shoulder machined on them. all the best , the other Norman [/QUOTE]
