B31 gearbox query

[BeenyBoy]

In the process of putting back together my B31 (plunger) gearbox- according to the bible it is imperative that the dot on the selector quadrant is lined up with the dot on the casing...slight problem...got a dot on the quadrant but there is nothing on the casing.... any ideas ?

Lining up the dots is the usual procedure for the swinging arm gearboxs on the "B" models. The plunger box needing a different appproach.

What sort of box and what year is your bike?

Hi

Its a 1955 plunger model; the gearbox looks to be a "m" series unit as it has no cam plate and has selector forks;

Attached service sheet describes the reassembly of the box and may assist.

cheers and thanks again
