jse Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'm not sure they may be related. What are the exact symptoms and under what conditions? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmc Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 hi thanks for reply, sometimes we can't seem to get the gears , think the weld might have fractured on the 'tophat' located somewear behind the clutch basket thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jse Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 If the weld broke loose, you would not be able to engage any gears, so I doubt that is the problem. I'd try adjusting the "centering spring" (it's part of the tophat assembly) and see if that solves the problem. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmc Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 yes, don't think it's broke yet but possibly cracked and will go caput eventually, hoping it'll stay together for the trial on sunday, daren't practise on saturday, then hopefully get it done next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
