Gearbox problem Lanchester 14 Leda

Post by Norfolk Lad »

Have been trying to help a local with his 14 Leda unable to get 4th, but seems to have 4th if you remove bottom selector rod and push lever by hand.
After putting it up on a ramp the selector lever can be moved but the rod to connect to bottom bellcrank is 15/20mm short, this car was in regular use before this problem happened, anyone had a similar problem and what was the cure.
Next move is top off the box to see if any damage inside have spent over 5hrs on it now, just at a dead end as to why the select arm has gained 20mm more movement, to alter the rod to suit 4th means the other end or the quadrant will suffer.

HERE'S HOPING Peter
