Great car, and great to see that it is being well enjoyed! I believe some asked already, but do you have a larger picture, or any other pictures of the lug mounted rotisserie? Looks like a neat setup.

Hi

So spring has come, and it is time to start driving the square, last fall, i had some problems with my clutch and temporarily instaled my original periferical spring clutch plate , but I think something is wrong with that cltuc plate because it chaters very badly, so today I got a brand new diaphragm plate, that I will instal shortly, along wit a NOS pressure bearing

My problem and question at the same time is that I noticed for some time now, that while cruising at 80-100 km/h in 4th gear, it has the tendency to pop out of gear into neutral, not very often , but I now hold my hand as a safty on the shifter at all time.

Can this come from the gear shift leaver or is it inside the gearbox? I know ther are some positioning holes for the gears wich are ball and spring loaded inside the gearbox, can it also be from here?

How can I fix this?

I realy want to get this done , now that I`m taking the engine out for the clutch

Thanks
Zsolti

this problem first appeard years ago, but it has really gotten worse in the past 2 years, the temporary clutch was done last fall, and it only chaters in 1st gear when getting started from a stand still position

I also thought it my be the 4th gear fork and syncro mechanism

I`m probably going to take it a part, myself , since there is no shop I would take it to. I have a nother gearbox, but its badly rusted on the interior , but the fork mechanism seems ok.

One more thing , by taking apart the gearbox, is there a chance I will ruin the fine tollarences and spacing , on the attack gear with the main dif. gear.? if i remount it with the exact number of spacing washers? it shouldn`t be a problem should it?

any vital tips for the job?

I`m a mechanical engineer ,and have a mechanics shop at home,so i`m use to fiddling with spaners and working on the car myself, but we don`t work on gearboxes usualy.

Thanks
Zsolti

one more thing, does some-one have , ar point a link out for me, on a repair manual for my 60 square, i have several , but they don`t cover the 70. Only my parts catalogue shows parts for my car.

the Haynes manual has info on euro-models but some parts of it and specs are a little bit spotty to say the least

Today I got the gear shift lever out, and greased it up good and reinstaled is, fiddling around with the setting , with the two screews, now I think it locks into 2nd and 4th gear better then before, so I might not rebild the gearbox
this car has 180.000 kms, arund 110.000 miles, mostly done in the city, thats why I don`t think it cold be the gearbox, but I will see in the near future, if it still jumps out of gear or not .
