Hello,
I would need the help of the forum people. Sorry but I'm from Spain and my english is limited.
I have a BJ7 with a standard gearbox. I had a typical problem with the second synchro, with the time the problem increased and also the problem was increased so also "scarpe" when pass from 3gear to 4 gear. Particularly I realize that when the gearbox was hot the problems increased dramatically at the moment that it was not easy enter any gear, I had to stop to fit one gear!
I decided to rebuilt it and at the same time and to save others problems I have installed a new diaphragm clutch, light flywheel, release bearing, uprated overdrive kit and the most important a new straight cut gear set tulip with new bearings, synchros.... so practically all is new.
I have tried the car today and surprising the problem has been repeated. The gearbox has worked well, only at the beginning has been necessary to make double clutch to reduce from 3 to 4, but right, but when the gearbox is hot he problem appears again. I have practically to stop to fit a gear, and not change is possible.
So the problem isn't in the pinions, clutch... all is new, the problem must be in the selector, perhaps in the interlock balls? I have seen that there is a interlock ball hole plug. Should it be regulated? Perhaps the springs pression change with temperature?
Could somebody help me? Thank you.
