How easy do those flywheel come off? Mines 1964..I havea feeling it'll be a scroll..... http://www.mevspares.co.uk/REA....._cat=264&child=0 Rimmers do the old scroll type..£24 :/ https://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-137374U

Thanks. I think I read somewhee on Rimmers that pre certain engine numbers it was scroll wheel? The clutch was fitted March last year and haven't driven huge amounts so should be good. I have an alignment tool so no problem re-doing that.

With my gearbox currently being rebuilt..I was thinking of taking the clutch out and wondered how easy it would be to take the flywheel off and replace the crankshaft rear oil seal? I see theres a scroll type and no scroll type crank?? Slightly confused? I do have a reddy orange coloured seal to fit..but wondering if this is correct??

My gearbox and OD is with Paul at http://www.firstmotion.co.uk. Do od spares also do gearboxes or just OD's? Might have been nearer to go here. But Paul at First motion knows his onions so hoping he'll have a look...just might be a little more expensive 🤔.

It pulls in fine and holding current is 0.95 amps. It's rock solid and won't move at that and is in the correct position

Hi, just had a question about these. Looking at the pivoting dowels on these, should they lean in slightly towards the main arm of the lever? Or should they be straight up towards each other? (example pics below..not my one) Thanks
-
Gearbox operating the switch. Once continuity was flowing I moved the gearbox aroundo, rolled it, bumped it and all stayed good.
-
The switch has been thoroughly tested/ checked and all good.
-
I've buzzed through the cable and will try the switch again whilst jiggling the gearstick.....but it seems to look all good
-
Just checked the strainer. .not clogged up.....oil again was quite silvery grey tthough.
-
Thanks for that Nick. I did clean the strainer out in the OD back in February. it was quite gunked with that silvery grey liquid.. I'll have another look tomorrow.
-
I have the lever on the steerign column. This all seems to work ok..
-
Checked the oil and it's at the right level.
-
I'll check the oil, but never had a problem with the level. Been driving it all summer and this is the first time it's done this. I'm removing at the moment anyway, so i'll see how much oil comes out??? Otherwise will re-check the wiring continuity. Thanks
-
Just to add to that..taken it out again and found that it will engage in 4th but as soon as i go over 40mph it goes in and out (judders) and then stays out. Obviously the higher speed is causing it to disengage?
-
Just been out for what will probabaly be the last spin of the year. Was fine on the drive out but on my way home, I found that I couldn't get overdrive in 4th. Goes in (slowly) with 3rd, if I then select 4th it comes out of overdrive? If i'm in 4th and then select overdrive, I get nothing? Relay is working ok/ clicking ok Could it be the solenois or something more sinister? I'm about to take the whole thing out anyway and get it refurbed (again). Any help appreciated.

I bought some stainless steel self tappers from screwfix for the poppers
-
Checked for endfloat and it's rock solid when clutch depressed.
-
Don't think he got an overhaul kit..just bearings 🤔 .
-
I've just had the main bearings changed on the gearbox..but wasn't too happy as I think the needle bearings for the layshaft weren't??
-
Whilst on the drive, engine running, if I push hard down on the clutch I get a rumbling sound. It stops if I let up the pedal slightly? Doesn't do it every time but wondering what this might be? Only seems to happen with a hard push towards the end of travel? If the clutch is engaged I do have a different rumble sound which I guess is the release bearing. It's a NOS part as was the clutch when it went in.

I fitted Accuspark electronic ignition on mine...best thing I did. £35 kit off ebay

Ok, so I bought Wynns Supercharge and added the treacle in to a warm engine. Certainly when it's hot the oil pressure is approx 10psi more than before. One very weird thing I noticed was that it seems to reduce the volume of the oil overall depending on temperature. Now I know this sounds odd..but am perplexed by what's now happening. Originally my oil was bang on the line...I added the Wynns and it went slightly over the line. next morning I checked the oil and it was the same amount but below the line?? Thought soemthing had happended and I'd lost oil... Went for a run, waiting 10 minutes after turning the engine off to check and was above the line. 30 minutes later..on the line..and hour later below the line?? Seems very odd..any ideas? Very repeatable results
