N.O.S. Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Got it now, thanks. Fluid flywheel. The use of a seperate plate clutch for top gear is interesting. The diagrams and descriprtion are really useful - without some understanding the thread is just scribble to those of us not familiar with the vehicle in question. Perhaps something for us all to bear in mind :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a small gear selector lever, which when moved actuates an air shift to activate the bus bar and select the required gear. I did a repair on an old diesel shunting loco at an ordnance depot once, and went with the driver on test, that had a preselector box, I was surprised to see it had a large lever to engage the gear.

handler 69 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Hmmmmm Sounds like using a spliter in a truck. Is that a close analogy? After reading all the comments about the rarity of gear boxes and parts, was a tad worried! Can't wait to take "Basil" for a brush with our bush LOL. Poor Eddy spent his Easter break cleaning and pulling bits off and fixing stuff...he said his back hurts :blush: Cheers TRoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
