Hi all,
With renovating a house for sale, Moke repair/investigations had been put on the back burner since the last Tamworth. For those who remember, The Red One decided that the Liberal goverment's excessive fuel excise could no longer be tolerated & refused to do the mere 900klm's to go home.
Today we bit the bullet, with the help of the newly purchased engine crane, proceeded to investigate The Red One's intolerances.
We had to put the front up on stands, so the legs would fit under the sub frame. After removal and a bit a of persuasion with a rattle gun the flywheel unveiled her conundrum.
Her problem was that after a few adjustments in the Tamworth caravan park, a reasonably loud bang occurred & no gears were accessible forward or reverse.
In fact it could be started in any gear.
Here is.........
Has anyone seen or heard of this happening before on a Moke? Would the wear on the primary gear splines have caused this? Re: pressure under load. Also the inside bushes on the primary gear were scored. The crank is good.
Anyhow a new primary gear & clutch plate are on order, so after a shake down, a trip to The Corner Store hopefully seems doable.
