I've delved into the guts of a friend's gearbox while trying to sort out an idler gear/primary gear rattle and noticed that the main bearing retainer hasn't got the usual locktabs on it.

All bolts are retained by the stretch built in once tightened to the correct torque. Any 'locking' devices are purely a backup. So, as long as the bolts are tightened correctly, the spring washers will be fine. Steve

I use locktite on this, nothing more. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

Excellent - it's all back together and in the car now, so my decision to say Bollocks to it and leave them as they are is justified !
