Hi all,
a friend of mine removed the gearbox from my 3500s over the weekend to try and find out what was causing difficult and near impossible gearchanging problems. He has diagnosed that all the bushes on the remote shaft to the selectors need to be renewed as the movement in the shaft is so sloppy that its difficult to select the gears, apart from this the gearbox itself is in reasonable condition for its age.
Does anyone know where i can get a good set of bushes from i have tried all the usuall suppliers advertised in the club mag but with no joy they seem to be very rare, someone suggested making by turning them out of polythene sleeving but i dont have the facilities for that,
any comments much appreciated as this is hopefully the last
stumbling block i will have before getting her on the road for summer !!
thanks colin
