1.6 Group A Box Help

[neil88 0]

I've got a 1.6 group a pts box its making a hell of winding noise, like its in revers all the time if in gear or not. the noise is in the box not anywhere else because it goes when the box is not turning ie when clutch is pressed.

I've just had a new 1st and 2nd gear for it and rebuild it in to a be3 box instead of the be1 it was in.

i had the box back out and stripped to check what was wrong found revers was rubbing on 2nd so made a spacer on the selector to keep revers away from 2nd so rebuilt it and its still making the same noise i think its revers gear but not to sure why because if the same as a standard one as far as i know

The tooth profile on revese gear differs between the BE3 and BE1 gears. If any of the gears in the reverse gear train are mis-matched, the box will whine.
