Type 9 gearbox issues

[wowblaauw]

All,

I sold my type 9 on - it was fully refurbished by GBS but in 2012 - I had a 1,000 miles on it before I sold it on in favour of an MT75. Any how, the gearbox has been installed buy the buyer who reports that it is whining in 5th gear and that it is difficult to get into either 1st gear or reverse without going into the other. I had absolutely no issues with the gearbox so am a little miffed. Any help as ever will be gratefully received.

Cheers

Craig

Sold as seen, unless you specifically offered any warranty?

The reverse selection is inhibited on the type 9 by the "spring" at the bottom of the gear lever - you need to push the gear lever down to get it to go further left and select reverse instead of 1st.  Has he messed with the gear lever or fitted a quick shift ?  If you don't do it right you can defeat the reverse "lock out" making it dead easy to select reverse instead of 1st.

Hope this makes sense, but even if it doesn't I would suspect the gear lever has been messed with.

I agree with Foz.
Did you sell the box with a lever, or has the buyer fitted his own?
Cant really help with a whiny 5th gear.
