[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 103762, member: 597"] Sorry Craig, I forgot to mention that you need to have the output shaft and sprocket, nut etc in place and done up firmly first before you carry this out so the output shaft is fully in place. Not sure if you are using original gears or new ones, but if some or all are new you need to do a dry fit of them on their respective shafts and check for any tight spots/binding..........this is very common and I have found i have had to grind off the tops of the dogs so they will slide into their mating gear without binding. It would be a disaster to fully assemble one and hope it all works straight away. I am currently assembling up a brand new engine of all new parts and the gearbox has several tight spots that would make it near impossible to select gears smoothly. Lots to look at, and never assume all will be well without a trial fit and checks first. Cheers and good luck.............Greg. [/QUOTE]
