Hi Guys,
I had the 3 out today for a good spin.
It was the first time I had opened her up on my local track.
The 2 speed clutch bell (TO236) bearing started to work loose causing the 43T & 47T gears to touch. There's normally a gap between them.
Has anybody else experienced this?
I'm going to try thread lock or a small tap with a center punch on the outer clutch bearing housing to try & stop it from moving.
Overall the car handles extremly well. I was trying different combos of rubber tyres which worked quite well on a COLD Irish morning.
All the best
Thanks shortyboy for your reply.
I've had a closer look. There's a gap between the gears which is caused by the one-way bearing in TO235.
When I run the 3 hard this one-way bearing seems to push the bearing in TO236 back which causes the gap to close to nothing.
The bearing in TO236 seems very tight but it still moves.
Just check & see do you still have this gap?
All the best
