FAULT DIAGNOSIS MANUAL GEARBOX
Symptom - Gear jumps out of engagement (any
forward gear)
1.Check condition and security of transmission
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.
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.
