and engine mountings.

2. Check in situ, gear lever and selector

adjustments.

3. In situ, remove gearshift and check selector rail

yoke security.
Also check selector detent spring tension and
both spool retainers.
Suspect internal fault
See remove and overhaul procedure.

4. Check action/operation of main selector rail and

forks.

5. Check condition of synchromesh and gear dog

teeth.

6. Check main and layshaft end floats bearings and

adjustments.

7. Check condition of all gearbox components,

ensure clearances and adjustments are correct
on reassembly.

Symptom - Reverse gear only jumps out of
engagment

1. Check condition and security of transmission

and engine mountings.

2. Check in situ, gear lever and selector

adjustments.
