Title: 1965 A50 Gear Box
Post by: BUNNERS on 20 Mar, 2025, 16:15
Afternoon All
I have a 1965 A50. Problem is it will not select from 1st to 2nd. 2nd through to 4th is no problem
I have changed the gear lever spring 3 times, (all springs had a different profile) but no joy.
any other ideas would be most welcome.

I think that you will need to go deeper into the  gear box ?

Hi,

Is this with the engine running and can you select neutral from 1st and from 2nd?  With the engine not running can you select 1st to neutral, to 2nd and back to neutral - you will probably need to hold the clutch lever in to do this and turn the back wheel.
