The workings of a gearbox were a total mystery to me, so I was looking forward to taking this on apart to see what I could learn. What I did learn was that I seem to have become allergic to parrafin all of a sudden so not only is it good at cleaning bit off gearbox, it also removes my skin despite barrier cream and those useless gloves that rip before you get them on, and disolve when you get them dirty. Again, there were no major problems in the gearbox apart from worn bearings and seals, looks like I have got to it in time before major headache. Worse bit was the reverse gear that had the odd corner chipped off the teeth. I think I know how it all works now!
