I looked at both, the Geoffrey croker one is especially excellent although I only saw that when I'd done it.

# With the fork from my old (suffix B) box in neutral it's against the casing but with the old selector it's several mm away so I'll just replace it with the suffix B selector, triple check everything and replace the box. Thanks once again for your help. If that doesn't work I would not want...

Thanks for all the replies. I THINK I have found the problem, if so annoyingly, I could have sorted it in situ but at least I didn't take the box apart only removed the top cover. With the top cover removed I turned the shaft with second gear engaged, and there was the noise. I noticed that...

Thanks, will take the top off and have a look on Friday. (out of 14 day quarantine tomorrow - wife wants to go out for essential shopping).

Both of which were renewed !!

But the Syncro is also engaged with the lay shaft with the same teeth in first with no noise (or am I missing something)

OK thanks will also do.

Will do, it was a second hand gearbox that I refurbished, so I'm guessing it was OK but who knows. Thanks for that. One thing I am noticing is the photo's of the 1/2 syncro on different supplier web-site for the suffix A unit show the internal 'piece' wrong way around in some of the photos...

Over the last couple of years I've rebuilt my S3 gearbox (suffix A) lots of new 'decent' parts lots of time no hurry double checking everything. Got it fitted and all works well except for second gear. When engaged in 2nd gear it has what is best described as a 'winding sound'. I works, but...

Some advice please regarding the speed drive shims on the LT76 box. Should there be any sealant/grease or whatever between the speedo drive the shims and the box. Many thanks.

Well that would be the thinner one, but I have multiple gaskets so I am quite happy to tighten it up and give it a try. As I have a new constant drive gear on the layshaft this could have changed. As it's not a taper bearing I guess I have a LITTLE leeway. Many thanks

OK thank you, so I have the.405" distance piece (528720) and the .445" distance piece (528722) With the gearbox housing and bellhousing pushed (by hand) together I have movement with the thinner distance piece and none with the thicker one but the lay shaft still turns easily. So I am guessing...

Well having floated around in the pool with several beers I think I understand this a bit more. Yes the sources contradict each other and I still am not 100% sure about the constant gear but am 90% sure it goes with the protruding part facing backwards. The reference to the endfloat that was...

Hello and a little advice if possible (again) please. Just doing a rebuild on my LT76 prefix A box. New bearings in the bell housing and now checking for any endfloat in the layshaft. Using the existing layshaft with new primary pinion and constant gear. Firstly I need to confirm which way...
