Gearbox Parts

[Martin.S]

I have now two gearboxes - most of the gears are breaking down on the case hardening where the contact points are wearing through but I have two questions for you :-

Is one of these ground spacers the later fitment that fits under the new circlip on the Kick start shaft?

and one of these gear change shafts has no hole for the indicator shaft - what's this off? :-

The spacer looks like the machined spacer that sits behind the kickstart pawl (041301). It could possibly be the later modification that sits the other side (no p/n), but both of the ones I have here are dished steel washers, rather than a machined spacer.

I don't know about the “blanked off” gearchange shaft. All AMC Lightweights have a gear indicator. Maybe Norton Lightweight?

Ah - if these are that spacer then where does that horrible tin washer with the same inner diameter go?

I think the horrible tin washer is the “modification”. At least that's how I put my gearbox together....

Agree... tin washer. but one or your pics does show a shim up against the the kickstart gear

[clanger9]

Yes, that's part number 041301. The horrible tin washer is 042091 (apparently).

I have three boxes (2 for spares just in case) and none of my gears show any signs of wear?? maybe previous owners failed to keep them full of oil?

Cheers, didn't read the thread fully as now I see you had already mentioned it. Getting a bit rusty as I haven't had to do any work on my bike or a few years now

Regarding the gearchange shaft, once I removed the araldited in ground round bolt it looked like the other one!
Tuch - some people!

Ha! I guess that's one way to cure the oil dribble...
