Hi Darryl

I meant the two fittings that hold the gearchange shaft to the engine bearer rails. They should be parallel, and in line. I think mine were not, so the shaft bound up. A boot was needed to kick it out of gear, with the engine off!

As I described loosening the bolts slightly gave enough clearance. They haven't come loose either!

I oil all the joints from front to rear to ensure smooth changes.
It doesn't stop the gears clashing of course, that's operator skill, or lack of.

Rob
