1850 box

[Gibbonz]

wont go into gear when changing 3rd to 2nd.<br>
Doesnt happen all the time but fails quite regularly.<br>
Is this caused by worn synchro's, which are on the way out as it wont go into 1st on the run, or is something else causing it.?<br>
Selector shaft bushings are all good.<br>

when you get downshift probs 3/2 its more likley to be syncros if its on the upshift 2/3 the there are other <br>
things to look for the main shaft circlip causes the 3/4 syncro to move and if you drive it in 3 or 4 and throttle on off the gear lever will move quite alot if you hold the lever the you can feel the movment in the box <br>
if you overhaul the box this circlip must always be replaced

thanks for the reply.<br>
It is a 3rail box.<br>
It will be taken out and overhauled later this year. I can live with it for a few more months.<br>
Poor ole Dolly boxes.<br>
Have had bad luck with them once the miles get up.<br>
Same old story eh!<br>
' Bearings and Synchros'.<br>
Where is the best place to get a O/H kit with everything I need?
