Subject: Re: G9 gearbox
I've noted with interest the G9 rebuild tips, I've got mine to start as it's got a broken 3d gear tooth. I purchased a second hand gear from the Club's 'Leo' collection which looks the same but after the article in the last magazine I hope it's the correct gear angle!
I've also been collecting parts over the last 10 years for my M45 saloon 'body back to car' rebuild project and managed to purchase a T8 gearbox. It was removed from a car in the 1950's when the owner got a recondioned 'exchange' box from The Lagonda Co but for some reason the duff box was never returned but lay under the garage bench for 50 years.
From a superficial look the gears look OK - no broken teeth but the original problem was that it jumped out of third gear. Has anyone experienced this problem and what is the cure? An idea of the problem will give me some idea for my future workload.
