Subject: Re: G9 gearbox
Bill, thanks for that. It was my feeling as well. The layshaft was removed and is now assembled correctly after a second attempt. Having carefully observed my photo I still managed to get the herringbone the wrong way round but this is pretty obvious on reassembly of the main gears. I think some gentle re-modelling of the cup washer, which was not in "as new" condition will resolve the issue. I didn't want to do that if it was the wrong way round anyway. It may be there was a little play, previously, which kept it free. I do have a C spanner for the castellated nut which means I can tighten it well.
