cvgmmartin Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I had a similar problem once with a B25 g/box. I had somehow assembled the box such that the output shaft was shimmed too far towards the clutch and I could only engage gears 1,2, and 3. Check the primary chain alignment i.e. clutch teeth aligned with the engine sprocket, if the clutch is too far out then this may be the problem, otherwise hopefully someone else has a better suggestion, good luck.
