1st doesn't grind (as i guess everythings spinning the same way) you just need to push hard to get the bugger in gear.

Oh well, one good thing about all this rain is it gives me a chance to take a few things apart without thinking i'm wasting good weather.

Hi Adrian, Saw your post regarding your problem with the gear selection - I seem to have exactly the same issue hard to get first when hot and grinding of reverse - I thought air or oil (am about to order some Redline MTL). Can you tell me if you solved it and what was the trouble.
PS tried to PM you on this but your allocation is full.

Cheers
Steve
