Subject: Re: G9 gearbox
Hi Bill,
Test,
Drive along and press and keep down clutch with car in neutral. No gears selected, Is vibration less?
If yes, re-align gearbox. This is important to align as if you have one line from entire length of crank centre line through gearbox entire length.
If no change then maybe propshaft.
Peter,
Yes, I used to do it myself many years ago and even fixed one on a rally like that and used a hand file! however it's not easy and very costly to re-machine! even then you are only going to have a temporary repair as the other teeth usually fail shortly after.
