While I'm at it and as it's now easy to remove the gearbox I thought I'd take a look inside as the gears don't change without a snick. I can see that the previous owner has fitted new bearings ( a sealed one at the clutch end).
I've pressed the layshaft and kickstart bushes out and hoping to acquire these and a few other parts, off the shelve, but some are not that readily available so may have to be made. Ron
