+2 S 5 spped gearbox problems!!

PostPost by: ripley » Mon Dec 19, 2011 8:40 pm

Purchased a +2 S/130 5 speed gearbox, we had much trouble: no chance to get the reverse gear in! Now put off the box and discovered that there was wear at some bits. Now I need help/answer concerning 2 questions:
1. Does anybody know where I can get these 3 little parts (pictured) in new or very good used condition??
2. (First pic:) The odometer drive bearing/ring (as I'm german, I've no idea how it's called :cry:) shows a sort of inner "markings/lines" to fix it onto the "axle/shaft" where it is fixed. But this axle do not show any counterpart markings(?). In other words: Is it correct that the ring/bearing can turn freely onto the shaft/axle?? This seems to be strange to me as it has to be fixed!
Many thanks for your help, guys.
Fred

Fred,

The only source for these parts is likely to be Graham Boulton. I will PM you his details.

Brian, thanks for your ultra-fast reply! Yes please, if you send me his address/email, I would be very thankful.
Other question: What is the function of this little screw under the gearbox linkage/gearstick box? There is a screw that seems to regulate something??

Sorry I'm a bit late but the screw is there to retain the interlock spool..

The same gearbox with a different output shaft casing for the different gear lever location and different bell housing for the 907 engine was used on the 1970's Series 1 Elite. A complete used 5 speed lotus gear box from this car is about 200 pounds

see Lotusbits.com - buying one of these can be a good source of most parts for you box

cheers
