Have rebuilt the engine and checked over the gearbox - it looked ok. Have bolted the gearbox back onto the crankcase and turned it over with the starter motor. All good so far….. but…. I can’t get the front part of the gearbox casing back on - it leaves about 5 mm gap all round. Investigation shows the bearing ‘into’ the diff casing is sitting proud - see the photo below, likewise the bearing on the other end of the same shaft.
I’m no gearbox expert (too complicated for me!) but I just can’t figure out how to correct this. I’m hoping the collective expertise and brilliance of the gathered throng might be able to help.
I have tried gentle taps with a rubber mallet and various configurations with different gears selected but no change.
Here’s hoping and my thanks in advance.
