johny Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Im looking at a secondhand 3 rail OD box for my 2L Vitesse and it looks in good condition except the gears on the mainshaft seem to have quite a bit more axial play than they should. Is it a realistic hope that if I strip it Im going to be able to find the required thicker thrust washers to adjust the clearances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 i have a bag of thrust washers gathering dust but i would need to know the sizes required to rumage the one you may need its not just the rear circlip has popped off ?? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted June 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Thanks Pete. I'll have a look at the rear circlip hut that gives loads of movement doesnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted June 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Looking at it I think the rear circlip will only affect 1st endfloat while 2/3 are limited by front one? Then by my calculation 2/3 gears can have a max of 22thou so maybe Im ok.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
