Gear selection noises

Post by jonGTX »

Starting to put the helious beast back together, noticed there seems to be a bit of a clunking noise when moving through the gears which wasn't there before, any ideas? Just the linkage needing tightening?

Could be one of the bushes on the vertical shaft that attaches to the inside of the bulkhead... I managed to put one of them in upside down one time, which meant it wasn't held in place by the lower nut and gradually climbed up the shaft. Results in a clunk on every gear change.
