I bought a second-hand G50/20 ‘box last week which appears to be stuck in gear and the selector is doing nothing.
I’m trying to find out what's involved to strip it and find the problem. If it's not too difficult I may have a go at fixing it myself.
Are there loads of special tools required?
Is this a known problem?
Do springs fly everywhere when you take the housing apart?
Is there a manual or better still something online?
The detail bit.
The selector moves back and forth but changes nothing. At the half travel detent it will move sideways a few degrees but not fore and aft in that plane. I removed the detent spring which allowed me to 'feel' the fore and aft travel, it is doing nothing, I cannot feel any gear clusters moving and there is no weight to it.
It is in a gear.
Thanks
Steve
