hi, have continually had gearchange problems, so got the gearbox outer case off and find I have part number 041284 fitted, according
to my info it should be 041283(gearchange ratchet), cannot find any reference to 041284 anywhere. there are none I can find anywhere.
can anyone confirm or deny this part, does it look right ?
regards
Rob.

I have one the same as this spare one in my model 8 and the gear change works champion

hi, so I rebuilt the gearbox outer section and the gear change is a lot better and can get all gears ,if or when it happens again will have to try and renew some
of the relative parts if I can find them.
