tsiklonaut Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Well, my wife had a dash on me TRi yesterday and boom, it suddenly locked up. Thankfully while working on low RPMs. Turned out one of the 5 gearbox fixing bolts vibrated loose and did this: The little fecker who's fault it all was is in the front in two bits. "Thankfully" it only damaged the crownwheel, if there were high-RPMs the damage could have been way more catastrophic or even engine career-ending: OSSA doesn't sell it separately, hence you should buy a complete new gearbox. Thankfully Joa has found me a s/h one that they can hopefully replace the clutch basket crownwheel with. Be sure to locktite those gearbox fixing bolts! Do not overdo them as well (you may stip the thread or they weaken). Just right amount of torque and locktite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Wow! I'm surprised it came loose. When I pulled my gearbox to replace a spring, those took quite a bit to get loose. Hope it all works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada280i Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 definitely blame the wife and insist on the right to purchase not only the replacement parts, but also other accessories and things you don't really need but think you should have. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotus54 Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Do I want to know how much a new gearbox costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada280i Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I would guess 4-500 dollars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
