No 6th Gear

<< < (2/2)

Nurse Julie:
The easiest thing to check and costs nowt, is to make sure the gear change lever is in the correct position on the shaft. If it's set too high, the lever may be fouling on the casing when lifting the lever to go up to 6th.

All you need to do George is make sure the minute 'dot' punched on the end face of the shaft, matches up with the 'dot' punched on the collar of the lever. As long as the dots align, the lever is in the correct position .
Like so
