johny Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 I couldnt post on the original of this thread but wanted to know if a broken circlip would even stop 4th being selectable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Clark Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Yes, I would expect a broken main shaft circlip to make engaging 4th gear difficult or impossible. The 3rd/4th synchro hub will likely be waggling all over the place. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josef Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Fourth was easier. The shift hub is not held by the circlip, so nominally it’s movement will not be affected for the shift to fourth gear, but with third being not held in its proper position, that’ll probably be making a mess of the mesh of the various gears with the lay shaft.
