Slow engine rebuild progressing,however!

(1/6) > >>

Greg65:
With weekly commuting and shift work my engine rebuild has been slower than desired however I now have it in the frame. So before attaching the remaining bits I thought I ought to test the gears before I go any further so I attached the sprocket and chain. First up I have no neutral and can not select first gear while manually turning the engine over. The cam is in the indent on the gear shift drum. From this position I can not select first however can shift up.

So what am I missing or need to check? Advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg

Picture.

Ordinarily you can remove the clutch to see what's going on,  also you don't then have to turn the engine to rotate the gearbox in testing functionality, just spin the clutch to gearbox driveshaft to work through the gearshift.

May help you see if anything selector wise is odd.

Bryanj:
To run through the gears you notmaly have to §pin both shafts. 1st can be a bit of a bugger on new build at standstill but should go in if shaft rotated.

Nurse Julie:
Did you take the gearbox apart Greg?
