gear selector drum out of position |

I lost all gears on a long ride to the south of france, now home |
|
again. Taken the side cover off and I can see the selector drum |
|
pins tucked away behind the clutch assembly, as if the drum has |
|
turned out of position by nearly 180 degrees; Any help most |
|
appreciated. |

Pulled clutch assembly off, selector drum seems not out of |
|
position, but should have 3 pins on its end, but only now has 2! |
|
one is probably floating around in the sump! |

That doesn't sound good. |
|
No help to you at all, but there was a selector drum on eBay for |
|
ages a few years back, and although I'm a sucker for buying |
|
parts on a 'just in case' basis, I had never heard of anyone |
|
having an issue with one, so let it pass. |
|
You could try Schubert (SMS) in Germany who seem to have |
|
cornered the market for parts, Retro in Abbadia, just along from |
|
Mandello, or does it look repairable? |
|
Sorry for the tardy reply - pretty much nobody uses the forum |
|
these days, so I don't often check it.... |

Thanks. I have an engineer mate, we found the pin and industrial |
|
loc-tited it in; Next problem, the clutch basket snapped a tang |
|
off on retightening - now made a special tool!, and said mate |
|
luckily can weld cast iron. it's a funny thing to make from cast |
|
iron, steel would have ben much more sensible. |

Good that you got the drum sorted. |
|
Cast iron's fine for the clutch basket, but as you discovered, |
|
needs handled with some care. |
|
Would have been easier and cheaper than steel I expect... |
