Be3 Linkage Bars

[dandanger 12]

Hi all

 

Has anyone had experiance with the long gear linkage poping off at gearbox end when going from 3rd to 4th

 

i think the problem is down to the xu10j4rs being tilted meaning gearbox is tilted too...

 

what i want to know can the long bar be bent in such a way to stop it popping off ?

Usually if the gear rods pop off it is simply because the socket is worn out. Check that the rod can move through its motion without hitting anything, but otherwise get a new rod.

As above, The joints get hot and wear plus pop off, Either Lockwire/Cable tie (Not the greatest of ways) to stop the joint popping off, new std one's or a set of mine.

Its not good to run the engine tilted, it should be sat at the same angle as all other XU's in 205's.

I know not ideal... if i had done the conversion myself things would have been different but who knows what the future holds and the bank balance for that matter
