ikb Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hi, I am puting my Cota 200 back together and I need to know how much end float the gear shafts should have? And which end the shims should go? I am disregarding any shims I took out as it had been rebuilt by Neanderthal Man!! If anyone has an exploded diagram of the gearbox that would be good as I have made some educated guesses on how it goes!!!! Thanks Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagecota Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Basically, you want the shafts centered in the cases with at least one shim at each end. End play? As little as possible without clamping down on the shafts. 2 or 3 thou. Edited October 3, 2009 by vintageCota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have shimmed the selector drum to suit and all gears select ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagecota Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Probably won't be an issue if you use good oil.... I'm thinking of the shim acting as a thrust bushing to protect the aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
