Stalwart 2nd Gear problem

[Stuart Dunton]

Has any one had a problem with their Stalwart in selecting second gear? Over the past year it has been getting worst but now I cannot select it at all. I have checked the gear lever adjustment and that is fine. You can feel the sychros picking up but it will not engage. Also has any one got a workshop manual for the gear box?

Are you having problems selecting on the move or when stationary? Will it select second with the engine stopped?

[Stuart Dunton]

No I can't select second gear stationary or moving or when the engine is stopped. You can't force it into gear and you cannot feel the dog clutch engaging but third gear is fine, which I assume use the same fork and detent shaft

 

Thanks for your help

bother it does sound serious...the lever wont engage at all ie it is stiff, or it moves as if it is in gear but isnt...

 

there are spare gearboxes about but its a big job getting her out...well an involved one anyway...

Does it just baulk on the synchros or can you feel the teeth trying to engage as you pull back on the lever??

I think it just baulk on the synco you can't feel the teeth trying to engage.
