A very successful weekend. The gearbox has been put back together and now all that’s left is to make a start on the overdrive. The covers of the gearbox still need to be removed one last time so the gaskets and oil seals can be fitted but I wanted to make sure the selector mechanism worked before I did this. The other issue left is I still need to buy the correct oil seal for the front of the gearbox as the one supplied in the overhaul kit was the incorrect size. This shouldn’t be a major problem as a bearing company in Norwich stocks them and while I’m there I will also need to get a replacement bearing for the overdrive as one of them feels a bit worn.
Hopefully if all goes well I can get the overdrive back together tomorrow afternoon.
