Subject: Re: G9 gearbox
As I had new fabric couplings, I realigned the gearbox height and position with the couplings. As I haven't changed anything at the clutch engine end it didn't seem necessary to go to great lengths in checking alignment with the crankshaft. Wrong again, perhaps, but the original mounting heights would not let the couplings line up. I wonder whether the engine mountings may have softened and "sagged" over the years. These are pretty expensive and I wonder if they can be replaced with the engine supported but in situ?
