Selector fork shaft
Turbo Mini Forums

Looking at this part

This is what caused my crash - it bent at the rollpin hole, so, I was thinking why does it need a rollpin?

How about fabricating a new one with a circlip at each end to hold it in place and let the two selector forks slide along it instead of one sliding and the other fixed?

Ofcourse the fixed fork would need reaming out

I seriously doubt it!

IIRC the remote box's use a grub screw into a recess in the shaft.

The remote boxes do indeed use a small grubscrew and locking nut - and they are an utter bastard to do up !!

Metric is for people who can't do fractions.

Would the 3rd 4th fork wear prematurely if it slid on the shaft? Extra play at the ends of the shaft will have less angular effect. A grub screw sounds like a good alternative.

Paul. How did that cause a crash?

Its a bit complicated V.

It couldnt go into 3rd gear because that rod was bent, but, because I had pushed the gearstick hard up towards 3rd it went over the reverse lockout towards where 5th would be. I remember being confused that the gearstick had come too far towards my knee and then fumbling around for neutral it just hooked reverse. Being a dogbox I wasnt on the clutch, so at around 70+mph it snapped the left hand driveshaft, locked the right hand wheel and put me into a spin from the momentum

I seriously doubt it!

Aha, makes sense...Sorry :)
