hutchey Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 HI all, Had my RRC on driveway whilst i'm trying to get the damn carb to work properly - that's another problem entirely Last time i had it started i moved it back and forth on driveway to test carb under minor load. reverse worked fine (bit sticky but ok) done nothing to the thing since and had it fired up to test new carb settings (still plopplops) but now it wont go into reverse its got fluid to right level, no air bubbles in slave cylinder tried with engine running and off tried with clutch down at various heights and it just feels like its only got 1st and 2nd on the left side. Anyone had similar problems? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quagmire Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Reverse plunger is probably stuck. I have had this a few times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I agree with Quagmire. Remove the transmission tunnel then you can un-bolt the housing on top of the gearbox, including the lever. Make sure the lever will operate each of the plungers (which remote the levers to the selectors in the gearbox). The assembly is splash lubricated from the box - so if it's left standing, particularly if your gear oil has a little water in it, they are the first thing to go rusty & seize. If you re-build the assembly, it might be worth greasing it thoroughly (general purpose grease) which will help it stay working until the next time you run it. I would change and flush the gear oil too - just in case. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchey Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 thanks folks, will give it a go and report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchey Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 hi, well it was as described. cleaned it all up and put it back and the ball bearing just wont move back against the spring with it in situ. so i either have to remove the circlip and replace the parts or get a new assembly and it looks like the part numbers have changed too as the pics of the ones i've seen dont look like mine. mine has the big bolt head bit at the bottom and not at the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
