harryhedgehog Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi, Can anyone help? Right I have overdrive in place but I have approx. 10mm gap between mating faces. Fairey instructions recommend starting / flicking starter in first with transfer box in neutral and pulling overdrive lever back. Then it should slide in to place. But it does not. Clutch sleeve fitted as per diagram with needle rollers towards transfer box and outer splines towards overdrive. The mainshaft lock nut appears to be in a smilar position to what it was before stripping it down. I assume the problem aliging the outer splines on the clutch sleeve with their mating internal splines in the overdrive? Any suggestions? - Have I fitted something wrong?

rtbarton Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Did you use the correct tab washer on the connecting dog? The ones for the OD unit have shorter tabs than the standard one. You can grind down the original type if you can't get the proper one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also make sure you have fully nocked over the tab, i had a similar problem on mine when i hadn't quite done it enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I had that problem..... took a lot of wiggling to get it in, and rolling car back and forwards a bit etc, but it did drop in eventually without a fuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 You must also trim the unused lock tabs to below the base of the splines of the clutch sleeve. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can grind down the original type if you can't get the proper one. Had the same problem, I grinded the tabs and OD slipped in place. Thank for tip!!
